Totally Completely Fine

I have never seen a series quite like this. It is really unusual, and challenging and funny and serious and wild and surprisingly moving. The creators are clearly trying to treat the subject matter sensitively, and so at times it can be a bit overwritten. As a result, the darkness of the subject matter in combination with the comedic moments is definitely not going to be to everyone's taste. But just go with it, because it all comes out in the wash and really pays off in a beautiful way. Some of the accents took a bit of getting used to, but not enough to ruin the experience. I definitely recommend sticking with this series. The cinematography is stunning and the performances are especially brilliant. It feels like the most international Australian show I have seen in recent years. An original and special little show.

This is a wonderful series that makes you think about what is happening around you while also allowing you to relax and forget about your problems for a moment. After watching it, you may even be able to look at your life from a different angle. It's difficult to categorize it as a comedy; rather, it's a cognitive and psychological series about life. The topic of suicide is rarely addressed, but each episode provides an opportunity to reflect on moments in your own life, make comparisons, and contemplate what you may have once considered impossible. Life is beautiful! With good acting, a strong script, and an unusual plot, this series has everything needed for a great viewing experience. I highly recommend it to anyone over the age of 16.

Written and produced by Gretel Vella, we follow Vivian (Tomasin McKenzie), a young adult who inherits a cliffside home in Australia after her somewhat estranged grandfather passes away in his sleep. Learning the home is frequently used for suicides due to the large clifftop in her new backyard, Vivian must learn to cope with the responsibility of the house and her life. A short miniseries at only 6 episodes, I cried and laughed a decent bit throughout, and while the plot does get a tiny bit silly, its beautifully portrayed, and the writing and acting is quite good. Obviously warnings around suicide, for a series with such a morbid premise the series is quite heartfelt and uplifting. Would recommend.

There are moments throughout where the dialogue and actions are so ridiculously unrealistic I was so very frustrated with this show. But, then, I'd be hit with a scene that was just so perfect it was hard to stay angry with this show.

The cast are brilliant, and even some of the more annoying characters (Hendrix, Amy) will grow on you over the course of the six episodes are you become privy to the depth of their characters.

The last episode, particularly the last half of the last episode is brilliant, and it both closes itself off nicely but leaves itself open for another season, both would be a fitting next chapter.

Praise Stan for putting money back into local, Aussie productions!
