What is the TV series Fisk?
Fisk is an Australian comedy series on the ABC created by and starring Kitty Flanagan as Helen Tudor-Fisk, a contracts lawyer who takes a job at a small, chaotic suburban law firm handling wills and estates.
The series first aired in 2021. After her marriage and career collapse, Helen joins Gruber and Associates, a dusty firm in suburban Melbourne, where she deals with grieving families, eccentric clients and squabbling colleagues.
Flanagan's deadpan, socially awkward character became a favourite with audiences. Julia Zemiro plays her colleague Roz, and Aaron Chen plays the young, unflappable office worker Ray.
Success
Fisk became one of the ABC's most popular comedies, winning AACTA and Logie Awards. It was also picked up by Netflix and found international viewers.
The show's humour comes from Helen's blunt manner, her lack of tact and the absurd situations of everyday legal work.
Flanagan, a comedian who first became known on television and stand-up in Australia and Britain, wrote the series with her sister Penny Flanagan. Further seasons followed after the first.
