I Feel Bad follows “Emet, the perfect mom, boss, wife, friend and daughter. OK, she’s not perfect. In fact, she’s just figuring it out like the rest of us. Sure, she feels bad when she has a sexy dream about someone other than her husband, or when she pretends not to know her kids when they misbehave in public, or when she uses her staff to help solve personal problems. But that’s OK, right? Nobody can have it all and do it perfectly.” (synopsis via Deadline Hollywood)
Who among us doesn’t wish we had a perfect life?
Or at least, something that mostly resembled a perfect life, with the bumpy imperfections and irritating flaws kept to a Facebook-curated mininum?
Alas, that doesn’t happen in the Amy Poehler-produced I Feel Bad, especially when you’re a wife and mum; if anyone knows that it’s Emet, who trying to juggle aspirational domestic bliss, career achievements and parents who both assist and hinder her quest for a life well-lived.
OK, at least one that doesn’t make her feel bad.
Because she most definitely feels bad, pretty much all the time.
But hey it’s a comedy so you can laugh — just don’t tell Emet because she’ll, you know, feel bad.
I Feel Bad premieres on NBC in the 2018/19 season.
