i by Rachael Sigee

Rarely is a TV show simultaneously as blistering funny as it is delicately devastating but Feel Good – sublimely – is both.

The Guardian by Rebecca Nicholson

Martin and Hampson have made a delicate comedy and a tender love story, grafting both on to an undercurrent of pain, without ever being maudlin about it. Feel Good is a beautiful achievement, kind, human, as clever as it is funny.

IndieWire by Jude Dry

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.

The Independent by Bessie Yuill

The actors’ natural chemistry keeps the struggle from being exhausting. George and Mae share a language of sorts – they understand each other’s sense of humour instinctively – so you end up rooting for this sweet, weird couple just as much as you worry for them. Perhaps most impressive, though, is how generously Feel Good captures the flaws and strengths of its supporting cast. ... Thoughtful, hilarious series.

The Guardian by Lucy Mangan

Feel Good should make you feel good. It’s not only an immaculately written and paced piece of work and a properly funny comedy, it is also has created a delicately and intricately constructed, deeply humane world where people make mistakes but are not damned, and have flaws that are not fatal, and – despite all the obstacles – connect across and despite their divides. It is good for almost everything that ails us.

The A.V. Club by Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

Feel Good manages to do all this intricate story work about gender, sexuality, addiction, and relationships while establishing a clear comedic voice right from the start. ... 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.

The Hollywood Reporter by Daniel Fienberg

Feel Good isn't a series without joy or pleasures, mind you, but it's mostly a tart, clear-minded, sometimes funny series about exactly how much (or little) damage love can repair and the harder, more personal work necessary to fix what's left.

Decider by Josh Sorokach

If you’re in the mood for a show that prioritizes realistic humor and heart over static connect-the-dots storytelling, you’ll enjoy the subtle charms and overwhelming sincerity of Feel Good.
