I stumbled upon Feel Good a few weeks ago and ended up binge watching both seasons. The Mae Martin in SAP is exactly the same person whose journey I became invested in while watching the series. Yes, it doesn't follow the usual laugh-a-minute stand-up recipe and if this is your first exposure to Mae, I can see how it might seem underwhelming. But I love that wide-eyed nervous energy, subdued delivery and off-beat timing. The writing is intelligent and sincere, with a social conscience and more than a handful of important messages delivered during the course of the routine. If slap-stick comedy is your thing, then Mae Martin certainly won't be. But if you're looking for somebody authentic and funny in their own way, without scoring cheap laughs at the expense of others, then pull up a chair and enjoy some Mae magic ❤️
