British Canadian queer comedian/actor Mae Martin is about to make a very big splash in the US with the arrival of the her new Netflix Series FEEL GOOD in March.
She plays Mae a rising talent on the stand-up circuit and recovering addict whose addictive behaviors and intense romanticism dominate every single part of her life. When she meets pragmatic – but so far heterosexual – George (Charlotte Ritchie) she’s smitten, and much to her surprise George feels the same. They embark on an intoxicating romance as Mae juggles relationships with her parents, fellow addicts in a drugs support group, her colleagues at the local stand up club, and most importantly tries to transform her relationship with George from an addictive one to a healthy one. But the real question is can Mae replace a toxic addiction to love with love itself.
Check out the first trailer below and you’ll see that Feel Good is a deeply personal, dark but hilarious story about two young people navigating the modern-day landscape of love, addiction, and sexuality – and trying to form a meaningful and lasting connection. It is going to make the fresh-faced Mae Martin a big new queer star.
The series co-written by Martin premieres on March 16 and Lisa Kudrow plays Mae’s mom “Linda”, Adrian Lukis is Mae’s dad “Malcolm”, and Sophie Thompson as “Maggie”
