What to Know

Critics Consensus

Big Mood offers strong characters, biting cultural commentary, and a genuine portrayal of mental illness, but it can feel too light on laughs to fully satisfy as a comedy.

Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 05/14/2024
4/5
There are little golden nuggets throughout Camilla Whitehead’s honest, funny script, with an excellent episode six, in which we see how this illness affects not only mood but perception of time, which looks to others like selfishness. Go to Full Review Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/23/2024
2/5
When Big Mood shifts into a minor key, however, around episode five, stops searching for the laughs and hurls itself headlong into Maggie’s lithium abyss, it becomes something more interesting. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 04/04/2024
3/5
It is all well done, especially by a writer making her small screen debut and clearly well intentioned. So you can feel the frustration mount as the damn thing refuses to catch fire. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 05/26/2024
The regular laughs are tinged with something more dramatic, as we learn about the peaks and troughs of Maggie’s demeanour – and condition. Go to Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies 05/13/2024
One of the best looks at friendship in your 30s and an incredibly thoughtful, realistic and no-holes-barred look at mental health. Go to Full Review Liz Kocan Decider 04/23/2024
Every aspect of Big Mood, from the chemistry between Coughlan and West, the sharp, comedic commentary on pop culture and social media, and the nuanced handling of mental illness is responsible for this show being a must-watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
