My Mad Fat Diary Season 2 Finale

If you read my post earlier about underrated TV shows, you'll know that I'm a fan of My Mad Fat Diary. Maybe it's the fact that it's set in the 90s, or that it's British, but I can't get enough of it. The show is different from any other typical teen show. There's something about Rae's personality that makes me feel more human somehow. Even if I can't relate to everything she's going through, I can understand how she feels. I've struggled with anxiety and depression for a while now, and it's good to see a show that's not afraid to show a real depiction of what a person might go through. 

This last episode is one of my favourite episodes of the entire show. Sharon Rooney is an incredible actress, and she plays Rae's character so well. This episode had me in tears, because for the first time, Rae finally started to believe she can change, and that she didn't have to hide behind her illness and use it as a crutch. She acknowledged the possibility of hope and I just felt like this episode is such an important episode for people to see; even people who don't think they can relate. 

Everyone has hard times and feels low at some point--it's a normal human experience. People need to realize how important it is to take care of the mind as well as the body. This show has so many important themes woven into it that can be deciphered in so many ways. Every single person can watch it and come out with a different experience.  

I'm actually so sad this season is over. I'm hoping it goes on to a third season. It's too awesome to be one of the unlucky shows that gets axed (which happens way too much). 

Keeping my fingers crossed, but in the mean time, please go watch it! There are 6 episodes in the first season and 7 episodes in the second season, so the binge-watch will be a breeze. It's completely worth it. I promise :)
