Critics Consensus

An intimate portrait of addiction and love, Feel Good is at once sweetly charming, uncomfortably complicated, and completely worth falling for.

Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Dec 15, 2020
3/5
Co-created by Martin and playwright Joe Hampson, the story was palpably personal and had the ring of authenticity. Yet although this opener had plenty of charm, it wasn't quite funny enough. Go to Full Review Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club Dec 15, 2020

It doesn't always feel good to watch it, but that's part of Feel Good's magic. It tells a story full of discomfort and insecurity with self-assuredness, empathy, and charm. Go to Full Review Joshua Kosman San Francisco Chronicle Dec 15, 2020
Martin, who co-wrote (with Joe Hampson) and stars, hits each mark of the rom-com formula faithfully -and then turns it around to make it feel unprecedentedly true to life. The result is at once uproarious and restlessly provocative. Go to Full Review Katherine Singh Refinery29 Oct 4, 2022

4/5
Don't let the short six-episode format fool you as Feel Good is packed with content. Martin has created a dramedy about addiction and the ways we try to deal with it that is both unsparing and relatable at once. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

TheGoldenGirls4evrOFFICIAL T @RT80159863 Dec 2, 2025 Humorous & raw. Mae Martin really knocks it out of the park with this rollercoaster of a series. Addiction, insecurity, love, & growth. This series covers all of these topics & more. If you want to watch a series that'll make you laugh, cry & everything in between, watch Feel Good. It's amazing. See more Stefano B @darknoir Oct 3, 2023 Love and addictions and the lines in between. It's funny and wholesome, but also hard to watch if it triggers traumas. See more Joanna B @RT57557838 Jun 25, 2023 This season was actually quite good and kept reeling me in to watch more. See more Toms c @tomscove Jun 4, 2023 I'm a huge Charlotte Ritchie fan and this did not disappoint. See more Jun 14, 2022 The best made show I have seen in terms of story, character development, relationships, and structure. Love!
