Get ready to ‘feel not so good’ as “Feel Good” comes around for the last hooray!
The second and final season premiered on Friday, June 4, 2021, on Netflix.
As Mae tries to reconnect with George — and herself — after her relapse, she begins to realize she’ll have to face her past in order to move forward.
However, by the end of the first episode, Mae escapes rehab in a fit of panic into the arms of an old friend named Scott (John Ross Bowie), who triggers something dark in Mae. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Back in London, Mae’s English rose George (Charlotte Ritchie) is nursing her heartache with new fling Elliot (Jordan Stephens), a so-called enlightened polyamorous bisexual who fails to see the irony in mansplaining women on emotional maturity and internalized misogyny. Needless to say, it doesn’t take long for Mae to win George back, and the two make fast work of a delightfully ridiculous roleplay montage that involves gender-bending knights and heavily accented plumbers. While not its sole mission, the sex-positivity that permeates “Feel Good” is a huge breath of fresh air. It’s probably the only TV series ever to show queer sex in all of its creativity, style, and playfulness — while still being pretty damn hot.
