Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' - Totally Completely Fine - Season One

How did I miss this little gem too? Totally Completely Fine landed on Stan around Easter/April holidays.

Its a (very) dark comedy series from Stan/USA group SundanceNow. 

Starring Kiwi Thomasin McKenzie as Vivian Cunningham, the lead in this serious at times, but funny Sydney 6 part series. Not sure if a second season is on the cards, but if it was, I'd watch it for sure.

Vivian, a twenty-something who inherits her grandfather's home which is a popular suicide jumping spot. Her neighbour is super cute, Devon Terrell (who plays Dane, a psychologist who offers his professional help to Vivian). He is also a virgin.

Vivian (McKenzie) learns that her grandad had been talking people out of jumping for years, saving hundreds of lives. After saving the life of runaway bride Amy (Contessa Treffone), Vivian starts to take on the responsibility of helping those who come to the cliff while also adjusting to her new life in "the Crevice".

Vivian's family is also extremely dysfunctional. With two brothers (one gay, one straight), they are left their grandfathers other two less interesting items. Neither of them score some top Sydney real estate. Well a property with some work attached to it.

Vivian has weekly visitors, a sweet paper boy (this is a heartbreaking story BTW) and the brothers family to deal with.

It's a lot. 

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this series, whilst also smashing it in around 48 hours. I must confess I finished this before 2024, however due to the number of posts I had, it sneaks into the second coming of the Sizzlin' Summer Streaming series. I am thinking at the end of March, early April, combining the two lists for the ultimate summer show. Will see how I go!
