    I would argue Fleabag. But it depends on what you mean with positive.

    My argument for Fleabag is that she is a full human being with good sides and bad sides. It is a realistic portrayal. Same goes for the other women in the show (godmother, Claire, the lady winning the Women in Business award). They all have depth and character. I don’t want women to be portrayed as perfect, I want them to be portrayed as relatable. The whole show depicts people that you feel like “I know that girl”, “I know that guy”. And in the end:

    • godmother steps over her shadow and asks for help
    • Claire goes for what she really wants
    • Belinda (?) can’t be fucking arsed because she knows what she wants and what she is and what she is not
    • Fleabag experiences real human connection and feels ready to leave her audience behind
