Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst's 'Optics' on Stan is a hilarious and cynical take on the world of PR. The series follows two junior PR executives, Greta and Nicole, who are unexpectedly promoted to co-CEOs after the death of their CEO. As they navigate the treacherous waters of crisis management, they must contend with a range of problematic clients and their own ambition.
Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst have been performing as sketch-comedy duo Freudian Nip for a decade now, most notably on SBS’s news satire series. But it was a viral video in 2023 for the Voice to Parliament referendum, costarring Indigenous rapper Briggs, that introduced the pair to a wider audience , juniors at prestige PR firm Fritz & Randell, run by middle-aged men who exclude them from most meetings.
Greta and Nicole – chronically online 20-somethings who can post on TikTok while discussing an entirely different matter in under 30 seconds – have been thrown in at the deep end, but their enterprising strategies, workshopped in rapid-fire banter so fast it’s hard to keep up with the biting dialogue, actually seem to work.
