This one series made writer/performer Phoebe Waller-Bridge – like most overnight successes she’s been at it for years, with Fleabag having previously been an acclaimed one-woman play, but for TV fans she came from nowhere - a comedy superstar who’s now bound for Hollywood. Her 20-something alter ego, a damaged troublemaker crashing around London addicted to sex, conflict and self-examination, took us into her confidence with her filthy asides to camera – then broke our hearts as it turned out that in some sitcoms, actions have consequences. A modern masterpiece. Jack Seale
