Flack (2019)
7.3/10on IMDb
First aired
Robyn can turn a celebrity's self-inflicted disaster into a version of events the public might accept. Flack makes the calculation brisk and uncomfortable: solving the immediate problem can mean protecting exactly the behaviour that caused it. Choose it for a publicity team's inventiveness under pressure and the difference between managing a client's story and managing a life. The London setting is glossy, sharp-tongued and often deliberately unpleasant.

Scandal (2012)
7.7/10on IMDb
First aired
Olivia Pope's clients need more than a press statement when a private secret threatens a public position. Scandal turns crisis management into a fast-moving combination of investigation, access and persuasion. The attraction is watching a plan change as another interested person enters the room. Pick it for grand, highly heightened political melodrama in which deciding what becomes visible can be more important than establishing what happened.

Ray Donovan (2013)
8.3/10on IMDb
First aired
Ray's wealthy clients can afford to make a problem someone else's job, but payment does not make the consequences disappear. Ray Donovan keeps the practical work of protection and intimidation connected to a family life he cannot put outside the assignment. It is the bruising Hollywood choice, with violence rather than a clever statement often supplying the next move. Choose it when the cost of being useful is the part that interests you.

Mr Inbetween (2018)
8.7/10on IMDb
First aired
Ray Shoesmith handles other people's dangerous business while also being a father, friend and ordinary person with errands to do. Mr Inbetween makes the transition between those roles disturbingly matter-of-fact. Its short episodes leave room for small conversations as well as sudden violence. Pick it for the understated end of the fixer story, where a job's apparent simplicity says very little about what agreeing to it does to a life.

The Fixer (2008)
7.3/10on IMDb
First aired
In the 2008 British The Fixer, John Mercer is recruited into a deniable operation that handles problems the official system will not openly touch. Being offered a way out does not make the arrangement a free choice. Choose it for the fixer as somebody else's instrument, with the limits of the assignment becoming a continuing source of pressure. This is a violent crime drama, distinct from the business reality show with the same title.

Spotless (2015)
7.7/10on IMDb
First aired
A crime-scene cleaner's carefully contained London life is disrupted when his brother arrives with a problem that will not remain a family matter. Spotless gives the literal removal of traces an uncomfortable relationship with criminal concealment. It suits viewers who like dark humour inside a steadily worsening predicament. The work matters because expertise that makes somebody useful to a client can also make it difficult to refuse the next request.

How to Get Away with Murder (2014)
8.1/10on IMDb
First aired
Annalise Keating is used to finding an argument that changes how a case can be seen. How to Get Away with Murder pushes that skill into increasingly dangerous efforts to protect people around her, including her students. Legal work and personal damage control keep interfering with one another. Choose it for elaborate, propulsive plotting in which handling someone else's exposure can create a new vulnerability of your own.

House of Lies (2012)
7.4/10on IMDb
First aired
Marty Kaan's management consultants know that a client needs to feel its expensive problem has acquired an equally expensive answer. The 2012 American House of Lies makes selling confidence as important as the advice itself. Pick it for abrasive corporate satire and the question of whose interests a proposed solution serves. The humour is explicit and often cynical, with the consultants quite capable of adding to the mess they were paid to address.

The Consultant (2023)
6.5/10on IMDb
First aired
After a devastating disruption at a games company, mysterious Regus Patoff arrives with his own version of improving the business, creating fresh emergencies. The 2023 The Consultant is an inversion of the dependable fixer: accepting help makes the organisation harder to understand. Choose it for sinister office comedy and a solution whose terms become more troubling the longer people try to comply. It is the deliberately uncanny choice here.

The Cleaner (2021)
7.1/10on IMDb
First aired
Wicky arrives when the police work is done and the room still needs cleaning. The 2021 British The Cleaner makes that unglamorous job a route into other people's grief, vanity and unfinished arguments. His practical task keeps being interrupted by people who would like a different sort of attention. Pick it for comic aftermath with a literal mop, while expecting the traces of violent incidents to remain visible.
