What to Expect

PremiereLens read

A fast-paced British comedy built around absurdist time pressure, where the comic engine runs on the collision between ordinary people's unfiltered ideas and the chaos of turning them into something real in three days.

The humor is non-narrative and process-driven rather than character-arc-based, with Sam Campbell's stand-up sensibility shaping a tone that leans into awkwardness and escalating ridiculousness. Viewers who enjoy watching things go wrong under artificial deadlines, or who respond to comedy that treats the creative process itself as the joke, will find the rhythm here satisfying.

Fisk

ABC TV • Aug 20, 2025

ComedyDrama

Fast-paced comedy about high-end contracts lawyer Helen Tudor-Fisk, who is forced to take a job at a shabby, suburban law firm following a humiliating marriage breakdown and a professional fall from grace.

View show

Strongest Match

Fisk keeps the fast, deadline-driven comedy energy of Make That Movie, with jokes built from humiliation and rapid reversals. Watch a status-proud professional get shoved into a humiliating workplace downgrade, where every scene turns into a new embarrassment sprint, just with sharper dialogue and more workplace bite.

New Zealand Spy

TVNZ 2 • Apr 29, 2026

Comedy

New Zealand's newest spies - and the only three who applied - are tasked with protecting our nation from incoming threats, most notably those noisy neighbours in Australia.

View show

Why this pick

New Zealand Spy delivers the same kind of escalating absurdity as Make That Movie, where plans collapse under bureaucratic nonsense and time pressure. The 1970s recruitment setup turns spy-genre swagger into mundane government dysfunction, so you get sustained comic situations that keep ratcheting up the chaos, just in a spoofier, more story-based frame.

The Paper

Peacock • Nov 10, 2025

Comedy

Documentary crew searches for new subject, finding a dying Midwestern newspaper and its publisher's efforts to revive it using volunteer reporters.

View show

Why this pick

The Paper shares Make That Movie’s process-forward comedy, where the fun comes from watching a team scramble and improvise under messy constraints. Its mockumentary newsroom setup gives you constant workplace friction and bromance dynamics, with a dying-institution backdrop that keeps the laughs grounded and a bit bittersweet, not just frantic.
