Kitty Flanagan is an enigmatic actor who tells us little about her personal background. Those who watched "Utopia" will know what a great character actor she can be, with good direction and a good script. Unfortunately, "Fisk" does not have a good script and this must be blamed on Flanagan who is listed as one of the writers, with another Flanagan, (perhaps a sister?) sharing the indiscretion.
I have watched Kitty Flanagan do her stand-up routine. It is one of those modern routines that relies on smut in the mistaken belief that a modern audience will be tickled by crudity. "She writes her own material" is usually an indication that the result will be poorer than if the material were provided by a professional comedy writer. "Fisk" is no exception.
The situation for this sit-com is novel and promising. It has "MELBOURNE" written all over it (so Sydney people will not find it half as funny - think Graham Kennedy). The supporting cast is strong, excepting for the token Asian actor, Aaron Chen, who really is out of his depth. Why is Julia Zemiro wearing a fat suit?
I would like this series to succeed because I have so much respect for Flanagan's talent but I fear that it is not going to get any better (having watched three episodes).
