Anna Paquin discusses “Flack” Season 2 and her character Robyn

Anna Paquin joins us for a roundtable discussion of Flack Season 2 and an analysis of her character Robyn. Created and Written by Oliver Lansley, Flack is equal parts drama and comedy set in a world of high-stakes public relations and shows the dark side of cleaning up clients’ messes. Anna Paquin plays Robyn – a flack (publicity agent) – who’s an expert at her craft, but is completely self-sabotaging when it comes to her personal life.

Flack Season 2

This season, Mills Paulson PR finds itself dealing with its usual fill of showbiz scandals, managing models, promoting politicians, and wrangling off the rails television presenters. No scandal is left unturned.

Season two picks up from the events of the season one finale which saw Robyn’s work and home life collide catastrophically when she could no longer resist the temptations of her myriad of addictions. Returning to season 2 are PR intern Melody (Rebecca Benson, The White Princess)  Eve (Lydia Wilson, Requiem), and their boss Caroline (Sophie Okonedo, Chimerica).

Season two also welcomes guest stars Sam Neill (Jurassic Park and Peaky Blinders), Daniel Dae Kim (Lost, Hawaii 5.0), Martha Plimpton (The Good Wife), Jane Horrocks (Absolutely Fabulous), Doon Mackichan (Smack the Pony), Kevin Bishop (In the Long Run) and Paul Ready (Motherland).
