Fleabag(2016)

This series is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"James 5:16","theme":"Confession and healing","description":"Fleabag's fourth-wall confessions — her asides to the viewer in which she says what she cannot say to those around her — function as the confession practice James prescribes: speaking the truth to an other as the condition of healing from the wound that cannot be named."}, {"reference":"John 4:16-18","theme":"The one who knows everything","description":"The Priest's ability to see Fleabag clearly — to perceive who she is beneath the comedy and deflection — mirrors Jesus's conversation with the Samaritan woman: the experience of being truly known, which is simultaneously terrifying and liberating."}, {"reference":"Luke 7:47","theme":"She who is forgiven much loves much","description":"Fleabag's growing capacity for genuine love — her eventual ability to release the Priest without destruction — is the evidence of forgiveness received. The woman who has been forgiven much loves much; her transformation is the outward evidence of an internal resolution."}, {"reference":"Matthew 16:25","theme":"Losing life to find it","description":"The Priest's choice to return to his vocation — to lose what might have been with Fleabag — and Fleabag's ability to release him without grasping are both enactments of the paradox: the willingness to lose what you want is the condition of finding what you need."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
