This sad-divorced-dad comedy starring Lil Rel Howery of "The Carmichael Show" and "Insecure" (Jerrod Carmichael is an executive producer) scores points for being less uptight than the other shows — its jokes may be broad and occasionally borderline tasteless, but it can generate some raucous, from-the-gut laughter.

Among them: the social police who monitored your every move, raising a collective eyebrow at anyone who took up too much space, drank too much, or behaved in any way deemed unladylike; the urgent, compulsive need to be Number One; to talk about being the best, better than the slutty girls or the uptight girls or the less attractive girls.

As Fleabag, Waller-Bridge embodies the charming naughtiness of the British tradition—she cites Michael Caine's Alfie as an influence—while forcing herself to reckon with it: Whether she's relaying Fleabag's ill-advised sexual encounters, her tense relationship with her uptight sister, or the moment when she finally comes to terms with the destruction her selfishness and laziness have wrought on her life, Waller-Bridge is the show.
