    great if you like 80s nostalgia. very similar vibe to "On Becoming A God In Central Florida" but apple-tv-ified. bits of GLOW and maybe even Enlightened in it as well. the inner monologue narration throughout isn't it's strongest feature but maybe there isn't an alternative. great acting from Rose Byrne, less so the rest of the cast.

    The series’ biggest flaw is the amount of storylines that are packed into its 10 episodes. ... In the end, “Physical” is a showcase for Byrne that will have you jumping even if things feel a bit unbalanced.

    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.

    It’s through Byrne’s cutting insults and screams buried under her pained smile that Physical truly finds its voice. ... Shelia and her near-constant self-flagellation become Physical’s driving force. It’s a positioning that’s pointedly brilliant.
