The Australian sitcom <\/em>Fisk became an unexpected hit for Netflix two years ago because it was a funny, quick watch that has a good sense of who its characters are. It helped that Kitty Flanagan, the show\u2019s star, co-creator, co-writer and co-director, so thoroughly personifies the brown-baggy-suit-wearing persona of Helen Tudor-Fisk. Now the show\u2019s third season has arrived on Netflix in the U.S.<\/em><\/p>\n Opening Shot:<\/strong> Helen Tudor-Fisk (Kitty Flanagan) walks into the newly-dubbed Gruber & Fisk (though none of the signs have been changed), toting a huge box on a cart. Neither George (Aaron Chen) or Viktor (Glenn Butcher), sitting at the front desk, help her.<\/p>\n The Gist:<\/strong> Helen has just been made partner at the estate firm where she works, and she\u2019s going to make some exciting changes. So she calls a \u201cbig meeting\u201d, but disappoints George when she says there\u2019s not going to be any big-meeting mud cake.<\/p>\n The big change? An espresso machine, which at least helps Helen avoid coffee shop conflicts. The problem is that the grinder, brewer and frother make a ton of noise. There are other changes going on: Roz (Julia Zemiro) is trying to get her mediation services business off the ground, and Ray (Marty Sheargold) is wearing a turtleneck, which was a suggestion from his \u201clady love\u201d Melissa (Justine Clarke), who is a \u201cfashion psychologist.\u201d<\/p>\n Melissa is part of the Business and Breakfast networking group that the Gruber siblings are a part of, and Roz reminds her brother of the rule about not having dalliances with members of the group. This means Ray has to leave, and the prospect of the flinty Fisk taking his place makes both Grubers nervous. It ends up that the \u201cwills and estates\u201d slot in the BAB will be up for a vote, and Helen will have to make a speech, which fills everyone with dread.<\/p>\n In the meantime, Helen\u2019s neighbor Murray (Carl Barron) tries to get free legal advice from her when he finds out his late father owed a local landscaper a few thousand dollars. Of course, Helen tries her best not to give him advice for his specific situation, but some specific advice comes out, anyway. This leads to an angry visit from the landscaper\u2019s mother; the landscaper in question is only 12 years old.<\/p>\nFISK<\/a> <\/em>SEASON 3: <\/em>STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?<\/h2>\n
