August TV Finales - Physical - Season One

Physical is the latest Rose Byrne project concluding this weekend on Apple TV+. Like The Chi this has just been renewed for a second season ahead of its first season finale.

The comedy-drama/aerobics/political series created by Annie Weisman that premiered on Apple TV+ in June. Running for a tight 10 episode run the series has received good reviews and shined the spotlight on how fab aerobics really is.

Set in 1980s San Diego, Physical is a dark comedy following Sheila Rubin (Rose Byrne) through her journey of self discovery via aerobics.


Apple TV+ is starting to build a quality empire with series like Ted Lasso earning award nominations and renewals. With The Morning Show, See, Servant and more starting to get more attention. The poor mans streaming services may have a bright future.

I loved Physical (however bias I am due to my love for Rose Byrne) for it's deep dive into aerobics, political campaigning as well as its look into eating disorders and the masks we wear on the outside to look "perfect".

This would have to be my equal favourite (along with The Morning Show) Apple series to date. 

Paul Sparks, Rory Scovel, Lou Taylor Pucci, Della Saba, Dierdre Friel, and Ashley Liao all join Byrne in this classy, well scripted series we all needed in yet another lockdown.

I for one say bring on season two of Physical! Let's pray the gyms reopen by then or I will be doing Sheila's workouts from home too!
