BRAND NEW COMEDY
Having aired in Australia in April 2023, dark comedy Totally Completely Fine is finally coming to the UK and stars Thomasin McKenzie as Vivian Cunningham, who we first meet when she's about to end it all.
She can't pay her bills, likes alcohol more than she likes herself, and her mind’s made up when she climbs into a bathtub with her hairdryer. Then the phone rings, the grandad she’s avoided for years has died in his sleep and left her his house.
When Vivian arrives at the shack, she discovers that the cliff in the yard is a known suicide site and that her grandfather is tasking her with saving every lost soul that passes through. Suddenly this blunt and angry woman is talking people away from the ledge - maybe in saving others she’ll slowly learn to save herself?
