If you're still reeling from Fleabag's "it'll pass" line, then you should probably go ahead and click play on the trailer for Feel Good.

In this brand new Channel 4/Netflix series, Mae Martin plays a rising star on the comedy scene in Manchester, UK, who's also a recovering addict. Things get complicated for Mae when George (Charlotte Ritchie) turns up to her gigs and laughs at all her jokes. George has, up 'til now, identified as heterosexual. So, when the pair embark on an intense romance together, they find themselves navigating new terrain together. Question is, will Mae and George's relationship survive?

Lisa Kudrow stars as Mae’s mum Linda and Sophie Thompson plays Maggie, Mae's problematic and erratic NA sponsor. Written and created Mae Martin and Joe Hampson, Feel Good tells a darkly funny and deeply personal story of romance, addiction, sexuality, and toxic relationships.

Feel Good is available on Netflix on March 19 and on Channel 4 and All 4 in March.
