If you liked Catastrophe, you’ll love the new dark comedy Fleabag. In the six-part series, a London woman — played by award-winning playwright Phoebe Waller-Bridge — tackles friendship, dating, work, family and grief. There have been a bunch of shows in the past few years (Girls, Master of None, Broad City, Catastrophe, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, etc.) about people dating; we’ve loved them all in their own right. But this one is totally fresh and surprising. I watched the whole thing this week and can’t stop thinking about it.

P.S. Beautiful earrings, and seven great podcasts.
