Work 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
Channel 4's Feel Good, written by Mae Martin and Joe Hampson, is a captivating modern rom-com that ruminates on matters from love and addiction to sexuality and gender identity.
Sophie Davies, The Custard TV, 1st April 2020Feel Good: Dramedy lacking in drama and comedy
The characters are likable enough, but it's just not very funny.
Adi Tantimedh, Bleeding Cool, 29th March 2020Mae Martin's quietly charming comedy Feel Good
A comedy tackling drug addiction and coming out, Feel Good is neither patronising nor fluffy.
Anna Leszkiewicz, The New Statesman, 25th March 2020Feel Good review
Mae Martin comedy packs interesting themes, but the romance is lacking.
Mr Josh, The News Trace, 19th March 2020The laughs were more strained [compared to Kate & Koji], as though the lines had been rewritten so often that their originality had worn away. But the love affair is sweetly appealing, and there's an undercurrent of heartbreak as we begin to realise that both women are hiding pain in their past. Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe from Friends) had a cameo as Mae's vain, self-obsessed mother who apparently can't bear to see her daughter happy for a moment. More of her, please.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 19th 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
Mae Martin writes and stars alongside Lisa Kudrow in a clever six-episode show about chasing straight girls and chasing highs.
