Netflix's Feel Good is a refreshingly real queer addiction comedy

Indiewire

Canadian comedian Mae Martin co-created and stars in the Britain-set comedy about addiction along with Lisa Kudrow, who plays her mom. "Anyone in recovery will tell you that addiction is about so much more than substance abuse," says Jude Dry. "Even once sober, addicts substitute obsession with the high found with another obsession. That’s the savvy central tenet of Feel Good, a wildly entertaining breath of fresh air of a series arriving on Netflix just in the nick of time. Hilariously crafted, thrillingly paced, and brimming with the kind of raw honesty rarely found on TV, Feel Good will certainly make you feel, if not necessarily good, then something refreshingly real."

ALSO:

• Feel Good is very funny in a way that feels perfectly natural (i.e. not like it was ripped straight from one of Mae Martin’s standup sets)
• While Feel Good is not as good as Fleabag, the fact that comparisons are being made indicates that it's worth watching
