Physical

 Apple+ keeps churning out some great stuff. All of Apple+ shows look great but not all of them are. Physical is one where the content is as good as the packaging. It is a dramatic-comedy series set in the early 1980s in San Diego. The main character is Sheila Rubin (fabulously played by Rose Byrne - you might know her the rich and annoying bridesmaid in the movie, Bridesmaids). Sheila has bulimia; her favourite thing to do is order a bunch of cheeseburgers and fries and head to a nearby motel, check in, get naked, binge, then vomit. Despite her body image issues, Sheila is smart and funny and very resourceful. Her hippy dippy husband Danny (Rory Scovel) decides to quit teaching Political Science and run for politics. Sheila has barfed most of their savings away and needs money. She comes across an 80s aerobics class and falls in love with it, ends up teaching it. There is a buffet of supporting characters to eat and love, including her cocaine-smoothie aerobics partner Bunny (Della Saba) and her beach bum boyfriend Tyler (Lou Taylor Pucci). There is a lot repression and denial going on in the show including a strange hair fetish. I loved it. Let yourself get physical with this great show on Apple+.
