I’m not as pissed at the Netflix algorithm as I should be for its thinking I like Health stuff after I watched Crip Camp a few months ago—definitely better than when Facebook thinks I’m doing charity when I write the word “disability” in my posting. The Australian limited seriesAustralian limited series, on Netflix focuses on Liv Healy, hard-living food and lifestyle reporter who has a health scare that threatens her visa back to her life in New York(probably due to public-charge rules” rules that make someone who might need benefits an inadmissible green-card candidate; your Bohemian Crip can cross “leaving the country” off her list of ways to cope with the Burgeoning Crisis Of Democracy. A theoretical loss, but still, sometimes keenly felt.as most discrimination is.)
Mostly the show is funny, despite dealing with bodily frailty, mortality, and the ways in which we don’t share our feelings with our intimates. Celeste Barber, as Liv, brings the right mix of humor, good times, and bull-in-a-china shop to Liv’s zig-zagging quest to clean up her act and face some things she’d rather not.
