Totally Completely Fine

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.

It's funny, it's sad, it's simple, it's deep.

Everyone has a tragedy inside, but it can be dealt with in most cases.

This show masterly tangles multiple life stories into one. It shows that there is no dead end, and all the people have something unsaid and heavy in their souls. But good deeds and good people can help.

We see a resolution of multiple sorrows that are common among people and the ways they can be treated.

Touching such a serious subject, the show has a good balance and sewed in humorous moments.

Highly recommend for those who likes to watch something thought provoking and touching.

This is a perfect portrayal of a young person in todays Australia trying to get through life. Its a really fresh take on the struggles of mental health that enables the viewer to feel empathy for the subject matter but not be dragged down into a depression spiral unlike some other shows covering the same deep topics. The music/score isn't the expected melancholy, doom and gloom sound found in most shows and the dark, dry Australian humour is well represented all throughout which certainly adds to the relatability. Its refreshing to see a show cover such serious topics, be able to get the point across and not force you into your own depression in the process. The show does start a bit slow however this is only to provide much needed context and insight into who Vivian is and her various complex family relationships. Most characters -while exaggerated- are certainly people I have come across in my day to day life. Its a little unhinged but aren't we all? There are -rightfully- trigger warnings at the start of each episode which may deter some viewers. It almost stopped me from watching too. Yes, the topics are deep and thought provoking however as someone who has and still does struggle with mental health i can safely say that while yes there are some triggering moments, the way it is dealt with really changes everything. This excellently balances that fine line as a viewer in an enjoyable way. While this may not resonate or translate well for non-Australians, this is the first Australian show I have actually felt a connection with. So much so, i created this account.

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.

This is such an interesting show. I binged it with family but I think calling it a comedy is a bit of a misnomer. It is more of a drama with wild comedic elements, because it actually gets really dark. So be warned, because I was not ready. The show is a slow burn and the first two episodes dip a bit in energy. But episode three is where the show really gets great. I won't spoil it, but there are some laugh out loud bits, followed by some moments which made me really sad, and at the end I actually loved all the characters and really felt for them. Feel-wise it's probably the closest to something like White Lotus, because sometimes you like the characters and sometimes you hate them. The acting is pretty phenomenal in this regard. The music is actually very White Lotus too. You have to pay attention because there are so many clues that are brushed over, and only answered later in the series. I definitely recommend sticking with this show. The ending is one of the most beautiful bits of television I have ever seen.
