Physical

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.

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.

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.

Rose Byrne isn't just a great actress, she's also sexy as all hell and somehow pulls off the whole "almost Jennifer Beals" look in this charming and fun snapshot of my favorite decade. I'm serious, I love Rose Byrne, and she can "get it", as the young people say.

Rose Byrne portrays a woman named Sheila, and also serves as executive producer on this fascinating show that appears to have a lot of promise.

Unfortunately Sheila is clearly going through a lot of extreme issues, Partly a consequence of a culture that values beauty over well-being and self care. That's the 1980s for you.

The first episode was really good and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this interesting dive into days long gone by.

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.
