Funny Women, 19th June 2020Work begins on Feel Good Series 2
Script development for a potential second series of Mae Martin's Feel Good has begun, British Comedy Guide can confirm.
British Comedy Guide, 22nd April 2020Mae is feeling insecure about sharing a standup bill with George's teenage crush (Barry Ward), a 00s heart-throb staging his comedy comeback. Meanwhile, George seems to be having trouble giving up on her heteronormative happily-ever-after. Or is that all just in Mae's mind?
Ellen E. Jones, The Guardian, 15th April 2020Review: 'Feel Good' is the pick me up we all need

Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 1st April 2020Feel Good: Dramedy lacking in drama and comedy

Anna Leszkiewicz, The New Statesman, 25th March 2020TV review: Feel Good, season 1 episode 1
It's rare for the first episode of a sitcom to feel fully formed, often they take a while to find their feet and for the characters to develop in to being realistic individuals, or if not realistic, at least bloody funny. So we should cherish Mae Martin's sitcom debut as it comes out of the gate feeling like it's a world which has existed for a long time, and all of the characters are perfectly realised from the very beginning.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 19th March 2020Feel Good's the queer friendly romcom we need right now
Romantic comedies are the best, and anyone who says otherwise is deluded and wrong IMO. And at a time like this, I think we could really do with some comedic, slightly mushy relief. Enter: Feel Good, a new Channel 4 comedy series written by and starring stand up comedian Mae Martin.
Paisley Gilmour, Cosmopolitan, 19th March 2020Review: Feel Good has Fleabag vibes
