FLACK

7PM, MONDAY, FOX ONE STREAMING, FOXTEL NOW

THE final episode of season two of this brilliantly wicked drama drops this week, and I’ll be sorry to see it go. Fans of this series, who found the heady mix of celebrity scandal and deeply dysfunctional people paid to cover for them intoxicating, will have to wait to see if this is going to a season three (possibly on Amazon Prime, which picked Flack up after bizarrely Viacom dropped it a week before season two started). Besides the strong performance by lead Anna Paquin, the highlight so far this season has been the addition of Sam Neill, who found a match on screen with Sophie Okonedo as Paquin’s boss, Caroline. His character, Duncan, was suitably shocking, boasting he’d “once snorted a gram of cocaine off Kylie Minogue’s bottom and then rode a Shetland pony into a swimming pool”.
