The show peels back a cynical curtain on what life is like for celebrity PRs dealing with the frivolous demands of their hapless and selfish clients.
Who stars in Flack?
Flack stars Academy Award-winner Paquin as an American PR executive living in London. Throughout Season 1 Flack featured a number of big-name cameos with the likes of Bradley Whitford (The West Wing), Amanda Abbington (Sherlock) and Max Beesley (The Outsider) appearing.
Regular co-stars include Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda), Lydia Wilson (About Time) and Marc Warren (Wanted).
In Season 2, Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) joined the cast as Gabriel Cole, a tech titan who becomes a love interest, and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) as Duncan Paulson, who has a complicated history with one of the main characters.
The series centered around women in the world of celebrity PR was created by Oliver Lansley. He explained in a press statement why Paquin was the perfect actress to play the lead role of Robyn. He said: “She has that movie star quality. When you put a camera on her, she doesn’t have to do anything, and immediately you see layers of depth to her, which for a character like this is so important.”
Lansley said he wanted to include a group of complex female protagonists as a counter to shows like Mad Men, The Sopranos or Breaking Bad. He said: “No one watched Mad Men and said, ‘but is Don Draper likable enough?’ I wanted to write something about messy, complicated women.”
