Netflix – A show called, “FISK.”

I was looking for a show to watch on Netflix. I felt like a little kid, so many choices, but everything seemed BORING. Until I clicked on this show called, “FISK.” It’s an Australia comedy TV show. The show takes place in a small solicitors office focused on probate law.

Remember The Office? FISK has similar humor in an office setting. However, this show is focused on clients and their wills. The show has great characters, amusing story lines, and lovely Australian accents. It’s a bit slower paced, which might have you yawning from time to time. Still, the chuckles over the clients are worth sticking it out. They really do come up with some comical skits. I don’t want to give it away…

Right now, there are two seasons, hoping for a third.

Have you watched the show? Would love to hear what YOU thought about it.

Comedy, as writing inspiration, get rid of writer’s block…

As a writer, we get “writer’s block.” Life becomes overwhelming, ideas are not flowing freely. We need to find a way to open the channels of our creativity.

Comedy – I decided I needed to laugh.

By chance, I found a TV show called, “Miracle Workers,” I gave the first episode a shot, it was SO FUNNY! It just came out 2019. I laughed, because they show God in a corporate office in Heaven, sitting on a sofa switching through TV Channels to see what is happening on Earth. He’s so disappointed with what he sees… like us, God is tired of his job and decides he will just blow up Earth and start a new project.

I laughed AGAIN, because in Heaven there is a department called, “Unanswered Prayers.” They show only two people in charge of that department with piles and piles of requests, they can’t possibly help everyone.

So, that explains it, my “unanswered prayer” has been sitting in God’s slush pile for 7 years collecting dust.

If you take a look at this Youtube trailer for the show, you’ll understand why this comedy is so hilarious. Silly sure, but just what a writer needs to laugh a little and be reminded that God gets tired too and that sometimes we just have to do it ourselves!

Basically, this is a humorous way of comparing Heaven to normal life in a corporation.

Show is based on the novel What’s in God’s Name by Simon Rich.
