Phoebe Waller Bridge's Fleabag is back. She's still at odds with her sister and her awful brother-in-law. She's still struggling to be cordial to her father's godawful fiance (Olivia Colman). But instead of losing herself in a string of spiritually depleting sexual encounters, she finds herself wrestling with spirituality. Or maybe just trying to fuck a hot priest.
