Season 1 Review:
[Rose Byrne] nails the woman’s painful awareness of her true inner ugliness and poignant desperation, often while maintaining a serene facade. It’s a performance that always looks great yet, somehow, never displays an ounce of vanity. Those are just a few impressive aspects of this year’s most observant new sitcom.

Season 1 Review:
Physical would be unwatchable misery if it wasn’t for Byrne’s performance. Her Sheila is a mess that’s fraying at her edges. In Byrne’s hands, that jittery exterior gives way to a bellowing sadness and frustration not just at her life gone wrong, but also the state of the world around her.

Season 1 Review:
Byrne’s been handed a lead role but saddled with a rudimentary sketch of a character. Sheila’s pains and compulsions are real and will be relatable to many, but they’re anchored in nothing particular about her. What we see, with unfettered access to Sheila’s inner life, is a person who can’t bear to have a single sincere thought. As a tribute to the ethos of the 1980s, this corrosive irony may in fact be perfectly pitched — but what was unbearable then remains so now.

The absolute protagonist of the series is Rose Byrne in the role of Sheila Rubin, a bored and repressed housewife who discovers in the world of aerobics the answer to her dissatisfaction and her desire for redemption.
I liked very much the first Season. Second Season is imminent on Apple TV+

A fantastic show, very unique, led by a powerhouse Rose Byrne. It's so different and intriguing, my favourite show this year.

The music and the dress in this show are fantastic. Plus a cameo from that manager guy in White Lotus. The political and social commentary of the 80's was a surprise as well.
