Thomasin McKenzie tackles grief, mental health and the power of connection in a new drama with a surprising twist.
Vivian Cunningham (McKenzie) has hit rock bottom. Drowning her sorrows and haunted by a past tragedy, she’s on the brink of ending it all. But fate, or perhaps a bad phone connection, intervenes. When she inherits her estranged grandfather’s clifftop house, Vivian discovers a dark secret: it’s a magnet for the suicidal.
Switching from self-destruction to reluctant savior, Vivian finds herself surprisingly adept at talking people down from the ledge. With the help of an overly enthusiastic (and possibly annoying) neighbor, Amy (Contessa Treffone), Vivian tackles a construction worker, a lonely retiree, and even a victim of domestic violence.
But saving others can’t erase Vivian’s own demons. A devastating loss throws her back into the abyss, forcing her to confront the trauma she’s been running from.
“Totally Completely Fine” is a moving and hopeful dramedy that explores mental health, grief, and the unexpected ways we connect. The full series is on ITVX now.
