Welcome to the fourth episode of The Minchester Review!This is a very special episode 'cause guest Lassie joins me ;) We talk about a Netflix TV show we adore - it's called Feel Good. It will make you feel good after watching it! The 6-episode show tells the story of stand-up comedian/Canadian girl Mae Martin (played by Mae Martin), following her journey of falling in love with another girl George (Charlotte Ritchie) and her life of trying to stay clean and pursuing a career in the UK. It is a comedy but it also looks into heavy topics such as addiction, parent-child relationship (mum played by Lisa Kudrow), etc. We CANNOT RECOMMEND IT enough!!In this episode - SPOILER ALERT - We share our passion of the show. We also talk about other shows including Closer, CMBYN, The L Word, Killing Eve, Sex Education, and Girls.
