"[3rd Season Review]: 'My Mad Fat Diary' is strikingly well-made, with a fantastic anchor performance from Sharon Rooney and BAFTA-nominated supporting work by Claire Rushbrook as Rae's mother Linda."

Myles McNutt: AV Club
"[3rd Season Review]: Throughout the three series of the show, the scripts consistently sizzle with witty dialogue."

Allison Keene: Collider
"[3rd Season Review]: 'Mad Fat Diary' captures the turbulent life of a teenager better than most shows."

David Renshaw: Vulture
"This outstanding series is a must-watch journey into the teen mind. Pitch-perfectly played by Rooney, Rae's outlook on life is both hilarious and devastating, (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Polly Conway: Common Sense Media
"Not only is the series a really awesome time capsule, it also does an amazing job dealing with difficult themes about body image and mental illness"

Allison Keene: Collider
