2023 is turning into the year the long-running (or shorter running in Physical's case) shows are calling it a day. Billions will end after seven long seasons next month, Reservation Dogs ends Friday night on Binge, whilst this week we learnt two season runs on Starz (Stan in Australia) Heels and Run the World (I did predict this one being dropped) have also ended.
The Blacklist has also recently ended, whilst The Other Two also got the boot before its final episode recently.
No more adding links, but also recently calling it quits, Riverdale, Nancy Drew, Succession, Barry and The Flash.
So Rose Byrne as Sheila Rubin is in good company. However this is not on network US TV where the shows are all under the spotlight now the writers rooms will reopen. However will all renewed shows make it back on air?
The Apple TV+ commenced back in mid-June, 2021. The series was renewed for a second season ahead of its first season finale, this premiered on in June, 2022. Two months later the series was renewed for a third season. While in May this year, it was announced that the third season would be the final season.
We got the final ten episodes commencing back at the start of August. The third series was still set in 1980s. With the dark comedy following Sheila Rubin through her journey of self-discovery via aerobics. While also building herself an empire. On fitness of course.
Zooey Deschanel joined the cast for the third season, which was honestly a random AF role.
Critically the final season has an approval rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The consensus reads, "Physical packs it in with a final season that, much like a good workout, is bracing but pays off with a satisfying endorphin rush."
While I really enjoyed the stripped back finale tonight, overall the third season was really lacking something for me.
Deschanel's role was a little all over the shop too. This show had promise early on. And as a massive fan of group fitness, there is so much comedy in a group fitness setting. Whilst niche, it's funny AF to me.
Rose Byrne continues to slay. Making Australia proud. She honestly is consistently excellent. Physical joins the above long list of series saying goodbye to our screens in 2023.
See you Friday night or Saturday to farewell Reservation Dogs.
