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.

Why is everybody expecting this to be a hilarious comedy? Just because Celeste is in it?

It is a heartwarming movie about family, friendship, about unresolved traumas and various journeys. Please stop saying it is predictable after watching 1 or 2 episodes.

The world of Liv is everybody's world at some point and I looooved that she tries to get better and her journey is not predictable. She is not choosing the easy way, as you may see for yourself after the interview where she may or may not expose the fraud.

She may seem selfish, but it is clear that her unsolved issues with her family or men make her sound ungrateful sometimes.

I looooved this show and I love australian series, soo down to earth and revealing such an intelligent sense of humour.

It might seem like a FleaBag b side to start but stick with it. This show has substance and craft and characters that get under your skin. I didn't like it, ready to ditch it, then loved it. Celeste is fantastic. It's far far better than at first appears. This is long form storytelling, do not trust anyone that dumped it early because they haven't even entered act 2. From episode 5 we start to understand her trauma, and although it's story craft by numbers it's crafted exquisitely well, and performed beautifully. Stylistically it's fantastic, the flashbacks work so well, always maintaining the emotional impact we are after. Blah. Watch it. Stick with it.

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....
