Is Big Mood worth watching?
With a 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Big Mood is widely considered well worth the watch. Viewers praise the series as "a perfect amount of humour and drama" and highlight its thoughtful portrayal of mental health disorders.
Series one became Channel 4 streaming's highest new comedy launch since Derry Girls, which also starred Coughlan. With Dancing Ledge Productions (Prisoner 951, The Responder, The Salisbury Poisonings) behind the show, it's no surprise the series has resonated so strongly.
What happens in Big Mood season 2?
The story picks up a year after the events of season one – and Maggie and Eddie have had zero contact since.
The synopsis continues: "When Eddie suddenly returns for a wedding, she isn't alone – Maggie has competition, in the form of an infuriatingly positive spiritual healer named Whitney. Can Maggie and her special brand of chaos find space in Eddie's new life? Or will Maggie lose Eddie forever?"
