Summary
Fisk is a comedy that premiered on ABC TV Australia in 2021. The show was created by and starring Kitty Flanagan who plays Helen Tudor-Fisk, a blunt, no-nonsense lawyer whose once-successful career implodes, forcing her to take a humiliating new job at a struggling suburban wills-and-probate firm. The show’s humor is dry, and often weaponized through awkward pauses and Helen’s razor-sharp disdain for everyone around her. Critics and audiences quickly embraced Fisk for its sharply observed writing and Flanagan’s perfectly calibrated performance, praising it as a masterclass in low-key comedy. After finding success in Australia it made it's way to Netflix where its turned into a word-of-mouth favorite, proving that a sitcom about wills could still be laugh-out-loud funny. Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the show's pilot, "Portrait of a Lady", to see whether this minimalist workplace comedy hits harder than it looks. Starring: Kitty Flanagan, Julia Zemiro, Marty Sheargold, Aaron Chen, Alison Whyte, Chi Nguyen, Max Brown, & Glenn Robbins www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD
