In doing so we’ll be challenging ourselves to erase any knowledge of future episodes so we can deliver an unbiased opinion. At the end of each show we’ll tell you if this is a show we would green light or cancel. Tune in to find out which mega shows wouldn’t make the cut, what forgettable mistakes we give a pass, and who started exactly where they should be.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T18:18:49.691888+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-s1e1-podcast-3715607"},"episode":{"title":"S1E1: Fisk","slug":"s1e1-fisk","published_at":"2026-01-15T08:35:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-s1e1-podcast-3715607/s1e1-fisk","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-s1e1-podcast-3715607","url":"https://TheS1E1pod.podbean.com/e/s1e1-fisk/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/xt6vi7n4fu76rgaf/S1E1Fisk.mp3","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","meta_description":"Fisk is a comedy that premiered on ABC TV Australia in 2021.
