EPISODE 1.1
Anthony
Robyn must kill off the latest of many salacious stories
... More circulating in the tabloids about every housewife's favorite celebrity chef, Anthony Henderson, before the public is exposed to his womanizing tendencies.LessOscar winner Anna Paquin (True Blood) plays a London-based publicist hired to keep troubled celebs in working order and keep scandals from the press in this 6-episode show.
The professional challenges that Robyn faces are often plausible, and far more compelling than their resolutions, which are mostly stupid. Flack has little to say about celebrity culture with its stories of contrived sex tapes, hushed-up face-lifts, sham marriages, and bogus redemption narratives.
Full reviewFlack is often too blunt to be as interesting as it palpably wants to be, burying any shred of nuance by underlining its themes in red marker to make sure you can’t miss them.
Full reviewFlack can't explain what these publicists do or why they do it. The better material in Flack is based on character interactions and the cast.
Full reviewBarring a few passages where a thematic point is too explicitly made, Lansley writes believable dialogue; his scenes unfold discursively, taking interesting, meandering paths even to expected ends.
Full review[Pop's] most polished offering to date, serving as a reminder that in this age of international TV production, a binge-worthy show can, er, pop up anywhere.
Full reviewFlack: Season 1 is available to stream in New Zealand now on TVNZ On Demand.
