Feel Good

This show is intense and lovely, the jokes and the drama feels so real. It's very emotional and sweet and very much relatable to everyone. The fact that is in located in England with the sprinkles of that typical British humor makes it even more interesting.

I think it's a must watch.

If you're a fan of Mae Martin's stand-up (and you should be) you'll absolutely love this show.

Mae, Charlotte Ritchie (as closeted George), and Lisa Kudrow (Mae's over-bearing mother) all deliver stellar performances in this beautiful story about love, addiction, and the confusing spectrum of sexual identity we all find ourselves in.

As a bisexual person myself who has struggled with addiction, this show represented me in ways I haven't seen in years. Possibly ever.

10/10. Highly recommend.

I stumbeled upon this series and I immediatly loved it. It's engaging, intelligent, funny, feels real and spontaneous, and it tugs on your heart at all the right places. I got so engrossed in relationship between characters that I felt alongside them love, happiness, shame, fear, confusion, anxiety -the whole whirlwind, that I have a desire to watch it again just to catch all the funny puns and dialoges that went on and that I possibly missed the first time. Anyway, cheering on for season 2!

There's a bit of a spate of quasi-biography comedian-as-themselves type drama/comedies on British TV in the last few years but Mae Martin's brittle and razor sharp tale of rehabilitation, relapse and relationships is by far and away the most painful and beautiful of all of them. Aided by a remarkably strong support cast (Charlotte Ritchie is spellbinding here particularly - and you keenly miss Sophie Thompson in the second series) but all oscillating around a mesmerically layered performance from Martin. Feel Good can really genuinely hurt you but there's a powerful strength to it to. Deeply underrated and not to be ignored.

If you like Mae Martin and want some representation, there's a good chance you'll really like this. It's quite well done - the acting and writing are solid and it tackles some deeper issues as well. I think most of the negative reviews are coming from people who had different expectations / didn't fully understand or enjoy the humor, but I thought it was hilarious and sweet.
