Trailer for Australian Series ‘Totally Completely Fine’ Promises Dark Humor and Hope
The trailer for a new Australian series just dropped, and we’re feeling totally completely fine about it. Billed as a dark comedy, Totally Completely Fine is a six-episode series exploring what happens when a young woman at her lowest is literally tasked with talking others off the ledge.
The series stars Thomasin McKenzie (The Power of the Dog) as Vivian, who is not, in fact, totally completely fine. McKenzie, a rising star from New Zealand, is no stranger to the intricacies of dark humor. She is likely most recognizable to American audiences from her role in Jojo Rabbit, where she proved that she could balance serious topics and comedy with nuance. This talent makes her a natural choice to headline Totally Completely Fine.
As a co-production between Australian streaming service Stan and Sundance Now, Totally Completely Fine will be released simultaneously in the U.S. and Australia. The trailer promises a similar brand of irreverent humor and youthful energy to another Australian show that was well-received (if underappreciated) in the U.S., Please Like Me, which also used comedy to tackle themes of family, grief, and hope. With any luck, Totally Completely Fine will capture a larger audience that is better primed for an Australian streaming show
