The show stars Fresh Meat's Charlotte Ritchie as George, while a member of sitcom royalty in the form of Friends star Lisa Kudrow, who plays Mae's stoney-faced mother. Read on to find out how to watch Feel Good and stream the new series online from all corners of the globe.

Feel Good has been produced by Netflix and all six episode were uploaded to the streaming service in one batch on March 23. However, it isn't available for Netflix subscribers in the UK and Ireland.  That's because the show is a co-production with Channel 4 which has exclusive rights for the show in both those countries - read on below to find out how to watch if you live in either of those countries.

For everyone else, you'll need a Netflix subscription if you want to watch Mae Martin's new romantic comedy.

As mentioned above, Channel 4 has exclusive rights to show Feel Good in both countries - so don't go looking for it on Netflix.

The opening episode was shown on the free-to-air channel on Wedneday March 18 at 10pm and new episodes follow every week on the channel. The great news if you can't wait that long is that all six episodes of the series are already available for you to binge on via Channel 4's on-demand service All4.

That means that it's completely free to watch Feel Good or stream it online in the UK, provided you've got a valid TV license.

If you're currently out of the UK for whatever reason and can't access your usual streaming service, remember you can always just grab a VPN and point yourself back to Blighty to watch your favourite shows as usual.

How to watch Feel Good from outside your country

The Feel Good is all set to be rolled out at a time when people are desperate for something new to watch. If you're looking to get stuck in but find yourself stuck abroad in the lockdown in a country where Netflix and All4 isn't available, you might worry that you'll be unable to watch show using your normal streaming service, due to pesky geo-blocking restrictions.

Fortunately, there's an easy solution. Downloading a VPN will allow you to watch Feel Good no matter where you are by changing your IP address to one in another location.
