Abstract: Fleabag, a British series by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, received global recognition for its exploration of feminism, grief, and family dysfunction. This analysis highlights the series’ impact through these lenses, discussing its therapeutic values and noting its limited socio-economic and cultural scope. Employing the Dysfunctional Family Survival Roles model, the review examines Fleabag’s portrayal of complex family dynamics and coping mechanisms, showcasing its relevance to mental health and family support professionals. Fleabag stands as an impactful cultural artifact, contributing to a broader understanding of personal and familial healing processes.
