Kick(2007)

Kick is an Australian television series that premiered on SBS TV in June 2007, set in the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick. The show follows Miki Mavros, a spirited twenty-something who moves back with her Greek-Australian parents after failing to launch her career in the city. She takes a job as secretary to the charming Dr. Joe Mangeshkar while managing a local soccer team—the source of the series' title. Alongside Miki's misadventures, the drama unfolds across Hope Street, where her neighbours include the Salim family, a Lebanese-Australian household navigating their own complications. Amen pursues questionable business ventures, Osama wrestles with teenage troubles and unrequited love, Taghred chases soccer stardom, and Layla defies an arranged marriage when she falls for a fellow fencer named Jackie. Kick balances comedy with the everyday tensions of multicultural suburban life.
