Feel Good, literally

Again with the UK and a superb-ulous female comedian that created a killa show. The Netflix show Feel Good has made me realize I have no categories to alert viewers to LGBTQ or sexual content – and that made me realize, I’m not going to either. Spoiler alert: I’m going to let you get surprised that way you can just eat your judgements like the rest of us. With hot sauce. I’ve had enough people in my own life ask if I was a boy or a girl to know the best way to avoid sexuality issues is just to talk about all of them, make a fuss about none of them and accept people for what they are: people.

That being said, in the show Feel Good, Mae is openly lesbian which is also refreshing that she’s not like an angsty teen but she truly does know who she is most of the time. I’m only deciding it is relevant because it very well part of the plot line. While I understand Mae also has the androgynous vibe I used to have with my short blonde hair, before I literally developed the exact same chest measurements of my beloved grandma (God rest her soul), I could see how Mae (the character and in real life) probably gets exhausted with the he/she/boy/girl questions. How I used to handle those is simply by stating: I know you are but what am I? …And, that solved nothing, so not really recommended.

Mostly, none of that is neither here nor there because the Hard Truth parts of this LOL Drama Club show are that Mae is not only a real stand-up comedian playing a version of herself, but she is also a recovering addict.

Now students, here’s a fine time to also let you know that just like the sexuality question it is also not appropriate (once becoming aware) to question one’s drugs of choice unless you are in an abandoned church basement sitting in a circle drinking bad coffee. Don’t be rude. Once again, they’re human and unless offered openly, it ain’t none of your bizness! Feel Good is the kind of funny that is funny to those of us that have been through these crappy situations. It’s relatable. It’s silly. It’s short and sweet as Mae continues to travel along her personal highs and lows while developing her stand-up career and a new relationship, plus sobriety! Yay! I mean really, it is a hard knock life.

Again, and like always with main characters, I’m envious of Mae’s physique and outfits. That seems to happen with like, every single show I watch. I actually in real life somewhat resemble Mae if it were the me from ten years ago. Today I look like I ate Mae and all of her went to my boobs and butt. Mae is a nervous wreck and a confident soul mixed up in one tiny body so technically I could have probably eaten two of her to get to the size I am now. Some highlights are Lisa Kudrow as Mae’s mom, and Charlotte Ritchie from another great show Call the Midwife. I for real love all the peeps in this show and also again the idiots that reviewed this negatively on IMDB were clearly drunk children.

The Crawford Categories I mentioned for this show fall under: LOL, Chick Flick, Dude Food, Drama Club and Hard Truths. Yes, it’s a doozy, but a worth it doozy.
