Fisk

ABC TV • Aug 20 • 2021

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 delivers fast workplace comedy where status pride gets punctured, and the jokes land through humiliation, sharp dialogue, and escalating indignity. Like The Ba***ds of Bollywood, it follows an ambitious outsider colliding with a system that rewards performance, but the tone is more cringe-adjacent and office-bound than glitzy showbiz spectacle.

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 keeps the comedy moving with mockumentary workplace chaos, where co-workers’ bromance and institutional decline turn every scene into a messy, watchable mess. The Ba***ds of Bollywood shares that self-aware industry vibe and outsider energy, but it leans more on newsroom camaraderie and documentary-style awkwardness than on big, cameo-heavy entertainment satire.

Peacemaker

HBO Max • Aug 21 • 2022

DramaAction

Picking up where The Suicide Squad (2021) left off, Peacemaker returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport - only to discover that his freedom comes at a price.

View show

Why This Pick

Peacemaker brings foul-mouthed team dysfunction and embarrassment-driven tension, with danger that keeps interrupting the characters’ worst impulses. The Ba***ds of Bollywood matches in its playful, ego-versus-reality comedy, but Peacemaker goes darker and more action-forward, trading industry rivalry for small-town superhero chaos.
