Hulu Just Dropped Season 2 of Perfect 'Fleabag' Replacement – It Already Has 100% on RT

If you can't forget Fleabag, then we have a show that can help heal that wound – Such Brave Girls. The second season just received perfect reviews, and here's why you should check it out.
In a world where many projects face sudden cancellation, the second season of Such Brave Girls is a remarkable achievement for a series that has remained a hidden gem, even with the involvement of A24.
Such Brave Girls is a gift to fans of dark British comedies, such as Fleabag. While the plots of the two series are not so similar, they share an amazing ability to address serious issues with humor.
Here's why Such Brave Girls, whose second season has already received a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, is definitely a show worthy of your attention.
What Is 'Such Brave Girls' About?
Josie and Billie are sisters who live with their mother, Deb. Their father left them with debts and trauma.
Each of the three has her own problems. Deb is trying to build a relationship with Dev, a widower, in order to solve the family's financial difficulties. Josie is trying to understand herself and her feelings. Billie will do anything to keep her boyfriend, Nicky.
'Such Brave Girls' Is a Relatable Show Based on Experiences of Kat Sadler & Lizzie Davidson
Such Brave Girls tells about a dysfunctional family and childhood trauma. It was born after a phone call between two sisters, Kat Sadler and Lizzie Davidson, who play the main roles.
In 2020, amid the pandemic, the sisters called each other to discuss their problems: Lizzie's debt and Kat's fragile mental state. Even during this difficult time, the sisters could not stay serious – finding absurdity in everything is their way of overcoming difficulties.
'Such Brave Girls' Is a Great British Dramedy in the Best Traditions of 'Fleabag'
That's how Kat Sadler came up with the idea of Such Brave Girls and she seems to be following in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's footsteps. Dark humor, absurdity, and ambiguous characters, everything we love about British black comedies, are in place.
Each of the three characters is both hyperbolic and recognizable: Josie craves attention, Billie has never accepted her father's departure, and Deb seems incapable of empathy.
There isn't much difference between the two seasons, and the characters don't change much. However, it is worth watching Such Brave Girls not for the dynamic plot, but for the sparkling dialogue – Kat Sadler is a talented comedian.
