The itch left by Fleabag
I am exhausted of explaining why Fleabag is not enough, why Girls isn't enough. I, as a young woman, am hungry for more. I am starving for something more to chew on, to watch television that reflects what it's like to be struggling in a way that doesn't involve nicking a bottle of wine and masturbating to Obama. I want to see the comedy in the truly difficult things that women face today and to find the relief in it.
