"Flack" is a drama about a take-no-prisoner public-relations professional named Robyn who is an American working for a London based firm. Robyn is unflappable in her PR job and her ability to get her high-profile very wayward ill-behaved celebrity clients out of potentially embarrassing situations is unparalleled. However, her ability to get her clients out of these messes does not translate into her own life as Robyn tries to get her own life back on track while juggling her job.

Critics Consensus

Audiences looking for an arsenic cookie of a series may cut Flack some slack, but its cynical take on publicity is exacerbated by hyperbolically unpleasant, underdeveloped characters.

I can't think of another show that's half as insightful about entertainment in the age of social media and #MeToo. It's also the most fun I've had watching TV in months.

Fame is and always will be a short flame. What makes Flack... seem sweetly nostalgic is the notion that anyone could ever control it.

Its cynical tone makes it impossible to care...

Flack may not be for everyone, but there’s something captivating about its nihilism that may just capture new audiences.

As guilty pleasures go, however, the series is all in.

I found it boring and unoriginal. It feels like they’re trying far too hard to copy The Devil Wears Prada, and a lot of the jokes just aren’t funny. For example, the "my four-year-old putting Lego up the cat’s ass" joke, how is that supposed to be funny? I really don’t like shows that use animal abuse or cruelty as a source of humour. There’s nothing funny about it.

Within two minutes you know it's a dudd. After five minutes you know your first assessment was spot on.

Great expose on the worst people on earth, the ones who REALLY run the world: PR reps.

This show is simply hilarious and true to what goes on worldwide in all areas of life.

Every "strong female character" cliche packed into one woman. Yet another show that makes me wonder why anybody trusts Rotten Tomatoes.
