Wellmania

If your looking for an off the wall funny and easy to watch show this is the one. Although the plot is sometimes predictable this can be forgiven as the comedy and slapstick shines through. A great supporting cast in her brother and her best friend help bring family issues to the surface. And I can certainly relate to a number of her issues and problems ! With a beautiful backdrop of Sydney, the NSW tourist board should be paying her commission! Loved it and Celeste shows her outstanding comedic acting ability. Always been a fan of Celeste and this should be the show that will rocket her to international Stardom. Couldn't stop watching.

I watched this hungover, and it was perfect for a hangover day on the couch. I have to admit I didn't laugh, the jokes were kinda cheap cringey ones, but I did enjoy the show. The acting was well done and I like the short episodes.

One thing I really liked is it wasn't too predictable. Every time I thought "oh this is about to happen" it actually wouldn't happen. I was pleasantly surprised!

I really like the premise for the show, and I love Celeste. She isn't afraid to make fun of herself.

As for the characters, not many of them are very likeable but that's ok, it's more realistic that way.

If there was a season 2 I'd watch it. I even shed a tear or two!

I enjoyed this, it's rude and hilarious. Very modern and relatable as a 30-something Aussie. There is swearing, potentially non-Aussies might be alarmed we can talk like this to each other.

Celeste is very talented and kept me amused for the 8 episodes. Yes she's not always likeable but I'm sure everyone knows someone in their life that has elements of her about them.

The wellness journey is a tongue in cheek laugh at pretentious Sydney middle upper class women and what they put themselves through to be healthy.

The only unrealistic element was being able to get a direct flight from Sydney to New York.

I'll start this by saying that I'm a huge fan of Celeste Barber and her parodies of models. Her irreverent humour is brilliant.

I was excited to see that she was starring in this series and couldn't wait to binge it. I have to say that I almost stopped watching after a couple of episodes. I found the main character played by Celeste was so unlikeable and self-centred. She didn't seem to care much about anyone around her.

But I persevered. I saw the series out and am still in two minds about it. I loved the character played by Miranda Otto and thought she played the role beautifully.

Series 2? Hmmm....

I've never really followed Celeste on Instagram, I don't really get the humour of impersonating other influences and models, and essentially taking the Mickey. However, I absolutely love wellmania! Yes, Liv, is a hard character to like, but by the end, you'll understand why she is the way she is. I thoroughly enjoyed the backdrop of Sydney, and the cast of other characters with their own back stories. Season one certainly sets up for season two and I really hope this isn't another show, that gets cancelled well before it should. I'd say, ignore the bad reviews and give it a go. I binged four episodes in one night and the last for the next day. Easy watching!
