In Binge, Angela Gulner stars as Angela Mills, a woman whose struggle with her eating disorder, during a drunken bad night at a bar, leads to her signing up for a clinic. Binge is a personal series with a strong and defiant character character at the center, whose strong personality reminds one of the excellent Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag -in all the best ways.
