In the middle of watching this series, it’s really well made, and extremely powerful.
Reminded me of an experience many years ago where the woman seemed to be going the same way, thankfully it never got as bad as it did in the show.
Just a shame that thing like this actually happen to people. |

Binged it in a day and half. Interesting on lots of levels and also really frustrating, but I guess that’s the point, some folks who are abused or in shit situations almost find comfort and identity within it and it’s even harder to escape  |

watching it at the moment. it's a good watch does highlight the level of mental illness of some people living without help in society and in that way quite shocking |

"Has anybody watched this?
Wow...very powerful and somewhat disturbing.
And a true story
"
Binged it yesterday. Didn’t realise the lead guy is actually who the film is about! That’s some therapy right there. Jessica lass was outstanding as well. Fantastic series.

"It gets more disturbing  "
Thanks for the info. I had some problems a few years ago, from someone who was eventually jailed, due to their obsessive stalking and threats. I admire the performances but I may be better, leaving it after this episode |

Shocking to the core and again highlighted the equality between men and women
My heart broke for 'Donny' society and authorities need to do better.
I hope recreating this and reenacting was cathartic and there is healing

"I've just seen the first episode. I hope it has an uplifting ending. "
I just watched the first episode as well! I had to pause it multiple times to recover from the second hand cringe  |

Having watched it all yesterday I would say leave it be, it might be triggering for you. It gets quite disturbing the further into it you get. |

Just finished ep 2.
The canal scene was very disturbing and judging by everyone else's comments it gets worse? As much as I'd like it not to im someone who has to finish a series if I start it so will probably finish it sometime this week |

I've written on another thread about this already.
While it was disturbing it's not something that will linger with me after watching it.
I have personal experience of a stalker but to a much lesser degree and one of my daughters had a extremely bad experience for many months involving the police and hundreds of vile texts.
I also have experience of another family member who was in a relationship with a woman who literally could have been Martha.
She looked, talked and acted exactly as she did but rather than being a stalker she was committing fraud and dragged in estate agents, tradespeople, bank managers and a solicitor over a period of 6 months involving hundreds of thousands of pounds.
She was never charged because she had been sanctioned a couple of years before so everything was chalked up to MH issues but she ran a number of scams for a few years after and even ran for election on the local council.
I didn't see anything in this show that was new or shocking or that I haven't either experienced or seen on other shows. |

"Had to pause after ep.5 but I will finish. Brilliantly made story and acting. "
It's not a story, a fictional one at least. It's based on the real life experiences of the actor who plays the main character, Donny. |

I think it’s pretty obvious what I meant. |

"I think harder sentences and people might not think its a easier thing to get away with. I hope your oki now  "
Thanks! . I'm much better now . Still weighing up whether to watch the rest, as it seems incredibly well made and fantastic acting. |

Easy. It wasn't obvious to me what you meant, hence the reason I wrote what I wrote. |

"I finished episode 4 and did the phrase "putrid spit congealed over my genitals" put anyone off receiving oral for the rest of your life? "
I’ve subsequently closed all access to my skin flute and have erected a tape cordon and cones around it   |

 It's such a visceral description which I suppose had the desired effect on how horrific it's supposed to be, but still... |
