Physical

A couple of months ago, after 10 minutes of watching I turned it off as I was expecting something different. Last night, I wanted different and oh my word, this is brilliant!! I binge watched season one in one go and then season two.

Rose Byrne is absolutely PHENOMENAL, the soundtrack is fantastic and the story sharp. I also love how it captures the 80's so well! (I grew up in the 80's, my mum had the same kind of video camera and black hard plastic bag that it came with-so funny seeing that and other 80's scenes/things) Cannot wait for season three!

Rose Byrne rocks. Is her character totally likeable? Maybe not initially, but you grow to love her as you come to understand that she struggles deeply with self-loathing and body image issues, and she feels stuck in her life. She's the woman who's smarter than the men in the room, but she doesn't have a place in the board room. A feminist tale that doesn't try to be sweet or inspiring, but somehow ends up being inspiring despite it's dark edge. Dramedy. Darkly funny but also serious.

It captures the heart of being a woman in the eighties so well. Split a dozen ways, trying to keep your head above water as you fulfill everyone else's needs. If only you are thin and pretty enough you will be happy. Nailed it. Byrne's character even has a bit of the snarky feminist attitude leftover from the seventies.

I love it so far. Yes, there's lots of in-head dialogue, but that's what obsessive people do.

Love the actor playing the aerobics guru - she fits the part exactly. LA in the eighties.

Looks like its going to be a fun ride.

Give it a try if you like real, snarky women or if you lived through that era with open eyes.

I can't believe this has such a low imdb rating. I watched the first 3 episodes and am hooked. It's dark and twisted just enough so far. Hope it stays this good and earns a 2nd season.

Watched the first 4 episodes and got hooked on it. Good acting, dark, funny, love Robe Byrne, she is always very good but as rest of the cast in this case.

Some people complain and low rated this show because it is not 100% on aerobics or because the house's style is more 70's than 80's.

Nobody said it was an aerobics documentary and if you have decorated or remodelled your house in 1975 you are not gonna necessarely change it in 1981 with the 80's style.

I think it is much more realistic than many movies/shows where the decade style is overly exaggerated, especially in the transition period.
