Anna Paquin's 'Flack' is too slow, suffers from surface-level drama that leads nowhere
'Flack' is halfway to finish line, but not at a pace that we would have liked. The Anna Paquin show — based on the life of a crisis manager Robyn — was marketed as a show featuring women who are tough, unapologetic and flawed.
The show partly manages to succeed in portraying women of strength, but this is not really visible throughout the show. It comes in fits and starts and, just when you think that there is something here, it disappears.
Firstly, the show is about women who are trying to balance work and personal life. They happen to be scandal fixers, which might be exciting on the surface but is nothing more than a world filled with lies.
In 'Flack', we don't see any character — including Eve, Melody and Caroline — speak of anything but work.
