'Flack', starring Anna Paquin, Sophie Okonedo and Arinze Kene among others, is an upcoming six-episode show from Pop about the underbelly of celebrity PR and focuses on crisis strategists who are ready to do anything to save their clients from scandals.

The show calls attention to what really happens in the background as stars do what they do best, which is to get into trouble. In fact, the first teaser showed Robyn trying to get a star to wake up from his drug/alcohol haze to make it in time to receive one of the most prestigious awards and give a speech. Ahead of the show's premiere on February 21 on Pop, here's a look at the central characters who play a part in making celebrities' life scandal-free.

Robyn is a magician when it comes to solving problems of her clients. She can pull any strings and she is unscrupulous when it comes to getting things done. This could also mean sobering up a drunk client and dressing him up to get an award, or resuscitating another one that passed out in the middle of having sex. In her personal life, Robyn is grieving the loss of her mother who commits suicide.
