Reasons Why I Love "My Mad Fat Diary"
Saturday, April 04, 2015
My Mad Fat Diary is a British telly series that tells the tragic and humorous story of a troubled young girl Rae Earl. The story starts when the 16-year-old Rae Earl’s departure from the psychiatric hospital, when she began keeping a daily diary to document her troubled thoughts and focuses on her desire to make friends and her obsession with guess what, losing her virginity. Yes! She begins to reconnect with her best friend Chloe and her group, who are unaware of Rae’s mental health and body image problems, believing she was in France for the past four months. She attempts to keep this information from her while also trying to impress Chloe’s friends Izzy, Archie, Chop and Finn.
Here are the reasons why I love My Mad Fat Diary:
- Rae Earl and I are mostly alike I guess. Well, to the fact the she loves music and I too, we both love eating (she used to binge eat), and we both have body image issues.
- I do feel like an outcast sometimes. This is the introvert in me talking.
- And oh, I used to have a diary too, but I burned in anyhow.
- One word: Oasis!!!
- I saw a character that was not just a work of fiction, a character I could connect with. I can somehow see myself in Rae Earl, I have mental health issues too. We somehow all have, right?
- I love how she expresses her feelings and thoughts in her diary. For instance, from guys to what she thinks about the world to suspecting that some of her friends aren’t really her friends and so much more! She has a witty and clever thinking.
- It is based on the 90’s! Just because 90's kids rock!
- It shows her adventure of over-coming her downfall and her trying to bounce back to being accepted for who she really is.
My Mad Fat Diary will surely give you a lot life lessons. I certainly learned a lot! I am very very excited for the season 3 this 2015. *Fingers Crossed*

Ooooh, another series to watch! *adds it to my list* If you're a fan of suspense, I'm definitely recommending Hannibal. Its great cinematography is a plus too, to keep you at the edge.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's my first time here, and I'm enjoying the experience so far! :)

Oh, so this is a series? I love it! Even by just reading the synopsis, I think this character you mentioned reflects me a lot. Will add this into my summer marathon list! :D

Yes. This is a British series. You must watch it, Mi :)
DeleteA friend of mine recommended this show a few months back, and I still haven't gotten around to watching it. Your post just reminded me that I need to get my head into the game and watch the show once and for all! haha! No more delaying it!

Hahaha! Go and watch it na this summer. You won't regret a thing :)
DeleteI've seen GIFs from this TV show all over Tumblr, but I never knew what the series was called! I just started watching The Fosters and ended up watching the first 15 episodes in one go, so I don't think I'll be starting new TV shows anytime soon. In fact, I'm not planning to finish the last 6 episodes of the first season of The Fosters until summer break. For now, I'm only going to watch the ones I'm already caught up with, which are Game of Thrones, Fresh Off The Boat, and How To Get Away With Murder. My Mad Fat Diary is on my TBW (to be watched hehe) list though! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot! Hehe. Yes, maybe on summer break you'll have time watch it all.
DeleteI think I did want to follow this show when I encountered it on TV (or was it online?). I miss watching TV series! I used to catch up on a lot of shows every week but now, I hardly have time to download and watch them. :(
ReplyDeleteYou must definitely watch this series if you have time, Mikyu. Hihi. What series are you into? :)
