   Celeste Barber is perfectly cast as Liv, because her comedy is based on being an Australian everywoman who takes the piss out of polished public self-presentation. She came to fame by parodying fashionistas’ and celebrities’ ridiculous Instagram poses. As well as being physically exuberant, game for the most unflattering pratfall, she also has a wo...

   Liv is 39, and after years of freelance grinding she’s finally a high-profile enough contributor to a glossy New York food magazine that her editor (Virginie Laverdure, La Brea) recommends her as the ‘wild-card’ third judge for a new TV cooking competition show. Liv is thrilled – but first, she impulsively flies to Sydney for the weekend to surpris...

   While wellness is a global scourge, I enjoyed the dryly Australian humour of Wellmania, which often trends bawdy and scatological. This is a show where people don’t masturbate; they ‘have a maz’. But when I looked up the Wellmaniatrailer online, the comments are full of Americans saying they were glad Netflix has subtitles because they can’t unders...

   Because this is an Australian comedy, it’s really a drama at heart – and the writing team gradually teases out the aspects of Liv’s past that might have made her the party animal she is today, and that inform the way she relates to Amy, Lorraine and Gaz. I appreciated how deftly the various wellness gimmicks were woven into this plot – some as stor...

   Is wellmania a challenging watch?

   • But Wellmania was a challenging watch for me, because it goes easy on Barber’s natural charm, and instead leans very hard on Liv’s unpleasant selfishness. It’s hard to disagree with Liv’s friends and family when they complain that Liv sucks up all the oxygen in a room, making everything about herself.

   Is wellmania a good series?

   • Prior to Fleabag (or possibly Weeds or Sex and the City, depending on your reference library) this was challenging, uncharted territory. But a series as pioneering as Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s looms large in the memory, and Wellmania exists in its shadow. It’s good, just not as good.

   Why is wellmania so addictive?

   • There’s an element of TV watching-as-rubbernecking to Wellmania that makes it supremely addictive. Yes, when Liv’s personality flaws are revealed to be founded in childhood trauma, it’s a predictable trope. Yes, there’s no doubt that were she a real character her family would have washed their hands of her years ago.
