Every aspect of Big Mood, from the chemistry between Coughlan and West, the sharp, comedic commentary on pop culture and social media, and the nuanced handling of mental illness is responsible for this show being a must-watch.
-
There are little golden nuggets throughout Camilla Whitehead's honest, funny script, with an excellent episode six, in which we see how this illness affects not only mood but perception of time, which looks to others like selfishness. Like wine, Big Mood improves over time.

Big Mood manages to be funny, scratchy, sad and strange.
-
Coughlan could so easily have veered into caricature given the full spectrum of what's required of her, but she knows exactly when to lean in and when to pull back, cementing herself as one of the most versatile actors working today.
-
The result is a nuanced exploration of mental illness that extends empathy to both friends in equal measure. Big Mood's thought-provoking blend of dark comedy and drama dares to show what poor mental health can really be like. It is a rich sitcom that will linger with you.
