It is a Desperate Housewives-like tale of female empowerment, but with aerobics and high-cut leotards.
Debuting on Apple TV+ on Friday, the drama series Physical is set in the 1980s and follows a woman named Sheila (Rose Byrne) as she pretends to be the perfect housewife - all while battling an eating disorder and other inner demons.
