Netflix subscribers are binge-watching an 'underrated' series with 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes score before it returns for a shiny new series.
The streaming platform is home to a variety of content, from hard-hitting true crime documentaries to wholesome coming-of-age movies.
But an Australian comedy fans say is 'witty and hilarious' is counted among viewer's favorites.
The show started life on the Australian Broadcasting Network on in 2021 before being renewed for two more seasons.

It was given an international boost when it was added to Netflix two years later.
Between July 2023 and June 2025, its first two seasons clocked up more than 34 million hours viewed, as per Flixpatrol figures.
But fans are surprised that more people aren't clued in about the TV series - which returns with its third instalment on Wednesday (August 20).
The show follows Helen (Kitty Flanagan), a lawyer who has just gone through a messy divorce and career setback.
She takes a job at a small suburban law firm in Melbourne that specializes in wills and probate law - essentially, dealing with people’s estates after they die.
Turns out, it's a breeding ground for quirky clients, awkward situations and Helen’s blunt, no-nonsense personality clashing with the eccentric people she encounters.
The series in question is called Fisk, and it's earned an average of 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes from fans. Not enough critics have rated it to work out an average there. Perhaps that's why people are still calling the show 'the most underrated.'
Taking to Reddit, one Netflix subscriber asked for recommendations on 'the most underrated show you have found on Netflix.'
"Sometimes I stumble upon a show I have never heard of before and end up loving it way more than I expected," they said.
"I am curious if anyone else has had this experience. What is the most underrated show you have discovered on Netflix that more people should watch?"
Almost 1,500 people weighed in - and many were eager to back Fisk.
"Fisk! Can’t wait for season 3 [this] week," the first person to suggest the show wrote.
"Yesss, Fisk is hilarious," one person responded, as a second said: "Best answer."
A third wrote: "OMG this show! It has no right being as funny as it is. I cannot believe more people aren't watching it!" as a fourth agreed: "Right? The writing is so sharp! It reminds a bit of Arrested Development as it is worthy of rewatching to catch what you missed the first time."
"Fisk is so, so good. So fun for a lighthearted watch," another social media user said, as somebody else added it was 'deadpan and witty but not over the top.'
When you're next stuck for a new show to stick on, bear Fisk in mind. Its third season, which already released last winter in Australia, joins Netflix in the US, UK and beyond on Wednesday August 20.
