Physical

Whoever did the trailer and write up for this one scared a lot of people off-I almost didn't watch-it's really not about a woman making an exercise video or finding herself through exercise.....it's a dark and hard look at bulimia, the role/portrayal/treatment of women in the 80s, and abusive relationships. Rose Byrne and Deidre Friel are particularly excellent in this! Edgy and unexpected, a great watch.

S1 = 8, S2 = 7, S3 = a 4 or 5. It's a shame it was great and unique when it was at its best.

Completely fell to pieces in the most uninteresting way.

Season two felt a bit all over and not as tight of a story telling experience.

Season three is just completely unfocused, rushed and either unsatisfying or underwhelming character/story conclusions.

It feels like they possibly got cancelled behind the scenes and they gave them enough notice to work it into most of season 3. Even with that in mind, it's such a disjointed unsatisfying experience.

The horrible final dialogue not only sounded laughable (in the show, and for us the audience). Even if it some how hadn't been laughable, it was unearned and more importantly not show as plausible character growth.

That wasn't the journey we were along for the ride with.

I can say this was a legit representation, it very much reminded me of times when I struggled with mine.... Not sure why people say it "doesn't bring awareness to eating disorders" - how so?? By being a realistic representation it absolutely brings awareness, and just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it wasn't well done. Oh and she definitely was bulimic (people wondered if she actually was or not due to no toilet flushing, etc).... When her husband comments on her eyes being all bloodshot that's from the pressure of vomiting.

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.

Great Acting, interesting story. After the first 2 episodes it picks up steam. I'm really enjoying a dive into the 80's and into the mind of a woman with a eating disorder. I thought it was brilliant how you can see what low self worth takes over and what you are willing to settle for. Don't listen to the ratings on this one,they probably didn't really give it a chance, those are the same people who give Grey's Anatomy 10 stars.
