Fisk: A 96% Audience-Backed Three-Season Sitcom

Fisk is a three-part Australian workplace sitcom created by and starring Kitty Flanagan. The show, which combines dry, deadpan humor with satirical takes on modern life, reached international audiences when seasons 1 and 2 arrived on Netflix in 2023, two years after its Australian premiere.

The series follows Helen Tudor-Fisk, a high-end contracts lawyer in Sydney whose life unravels after her husband leaves. After snapping at a client and losing her job, she returns to Melbourne, signs up with an employment agency and ends up at a low-rent wills-and-probate firm.

The tone is set early: Helen’s drab appearance and blunt outlook collide with quirky colleagues and absurd cases, including one involving a will clause about a brother who paints with his manhood. Audiences have embraced the show’s pacing and observational humor—Fisk holds a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes despite lacking an official critics’ score.
