Feel Good 2021

A charming Fleabag-esque take on LGBTQ+ love

Our Take (by The Staff)

Lisa Kudrow and many other recognizable faces star in this sweet British comedy that feels like a Fleabag take on LGBTQ+ love.

Mae (played by Canadian comedian Mae Martin) is a stand-up comic in London who starts dating a fan, George (Charlotte Ritchie). Up to that point, George had only dated men.

Martin also co-wrote and co-created the show, with Skins’ Joe Hampson, making Feel Good a semi-autobiographical show.

Mae the character is self-destructive, but also funny and sharp. George is lost and unpredictable. Following them as they navigate their new relationship is sometimes funny, more times heartbreaking, but always charming.

Notable Critics

"Anchoring all of this of course, is Martin, whose quippy humor is both refreshingly goofy and, at times, painfully introspective."

— Jude Dry

"Feel Good feels lowkey, insightful and real in a way that so much of TV tries to be, but rarely achieves quite like this -- and yes, it also can feel pretty damn good."

— Caroline Framke

Synopsis

Recovering addict and comedian Mae tries to control the addictive behaviors and intense romanticism that permeate every facet of their life. Life is further complicated by a new and all-consuming relationship with their new girlfriend George.
