What's the Story?

Helen Tudor-FISK (Kitty Flanagan) has just been fired from her job and is going through a divorce after catching her husband in an affair. Looking for a fresh start, she leaves Sydney and moves to Melbourne. With very few prospects that won't hold her past against her, she finds herself at Gruber & Gruber, a rough, shabby law firm focusing on wills and probates. Fisk struggles to maintain control amongst scrutinizing coworkers and inconsolable clients. This no-nonsense lawyer must face a whole lot of nonsense while trying to keep her past from catching up to her.

Is It Any Good?

Kids say : Not yet rated

This series is a fast-paced, funny, eccentric look into a woman's journey to redemption. In Fisk, Flanagan's portrayal of the title character is charming and relatable. The quirky characters and witty dialogue provide a lot of humor for the outlandish scenarios they're placed in. The language and sexual content make this suitable for teens.
