Apple TV+'s "Physical" (starring Rose Byrne) - Blu-ray Forum

Samus Aran · 05-27-2021, 07:09 PM

Quote:

Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of sunny 1980s San Diego, “Physical” is a half-hour dark comedy following Sheila Rubin, a quietly tortured, seemingly dutiful housewife supporting her smart but controversial husband’s bid for state assembly. But behind closed doors, Sheila has her own darkly funny take on life she rarely lets the world see. She’s also battling a complex set of personal demons relating to her self-image… that is, until she finds release through the unlikeliest source: the world of aerobics.

At first hooked on the exercise itself, Sheila’s real road to empowerment comes when she discovers a way to merge this newfound passion with the burgeoning technology of videotape to start a revolutionary business. The series tracks her epic journey from a stifled, overlooked enabler to a powerful, confident economic force, as Sheila transforms into someone we take for granted today (but was entirely radical at the time) — the female lifestyle guru.

I’ve always liked Rose Byrne in pretty much everything I’ve seen her in. I’m excited for this. Not sure if I’ll do the weekly thing or binge it once it’s done though.

Anyone seen this yet? It looks good and Rose is usually solid.

Yeah, Rose is great but this is a show that goes absolutely nowhere, then keeps going around in circles.

She deserved better.

^ Agreed.

For a show named “Physical,” it needs more Rose, much more aerobics, and less of the husband and the politics plot line, which doesn’t add to the story by contrast, it really just takes over the show.

I think it’s meant to be a success story, but it’s painfully slow to get there.

I thought it was just me, I like Rose and some of the story, but yes, the husband stuff doesn't do it for me.

Every series Apple has gets renewed it seems.

To date, I believe there is only one Apple+ series that they have not renewed, "Little Voice".

Agreed with all of this. The Rose Byrne stuff is good, the Tyler character is excellent so he and Bunny are fine, and I enjoy her sort of friend (the rich bald guy's wife). But the husband and insufferable campaign manager storyline is brutal.

Recently started watching Kevin Can **** Himself. Even those characters aren't as unlikeable!

I watched it. It starts off pretty good.
They got the era's look down.
But its loses steam down the line.

Im not really lookin' for Season 2.

BluBonnet · 05-12-2022, 03:21 PM

I'll watch anything with Rose Byrne

Just like everyone else said, Rose is awesome. The story and show go nowhere though. Season 2? Meh. More Rose is never bad, but it won't be at the top of my list to watch.
