Really good so far. Watched 4/7 episodes tonight. Short episodes, around 30 mins each.
It’s quite different. Very chilling.

On my list. Just need to get through Ripley first.
This was new to me. Looks pretty dark..
Finished it.
absolutely bananas. Bits of it were excellent bits were a bit disappointing but overall I couldn’t look away.

I didn't’ realise until after I’d watched it that the actor was the guy who was stalked in real life.
Not exactly a pleasant watch this. Parts of it made me feel very uncomfortable and frustrated.
Excellent watch, enjoyed 8/10.
Finished the third episode, it's very good so far. Martha's actress is great, she is unhinged.
It's an uncomfortable watch.
Got this next on the list after I finish Shogun and the final series of Succession
Episode 5: Did he actually feck Martha or was that just a wanking fantasy?

I interpreted it as he didn't feck her but it got him stiff for his girlfriend
Yeh definitely fantasy.Episode 5: Did he actually feck Martha or was that just a wanking fantasy?
This is one messed up shitee.
Enjoyed it but it was a uneasy watch. He is definitely a bad comedian..

Twitter has turned ironic and found the real life Martha.
His comedy routines are the most disturbing part of the show.This is one messed up shitee.

Thought it was compelling viewing. Went from funny at times, to deeply disturbing, to quite emotional and sad to completely bonkers. Was hard to look away yet uncomfortable to watch at times. One of the best series I have seen for quite some time in terms of originality and unpredictability.
I think it was good? I mean it was fecking horrible to watch but I couldn't stop, so it must have been.
It was carried by Jessica Gunning. Brilliant actress and character. Richard Gadd is sht and his character even worse. Unlikeable and unrealistic. It was a bit too artsy trying to be deep and connected from different angles. But it was just stupid. Call the fkn cops on your stalker and don't go get yourself raped over and over. Just ridiculous.
Unrealistic? Didn't all this actually happen
Based on a true story is different to a documentary.
The broad outline of it, yes, but I'm sure there is artistic/creative licence taken in some places. Like he didn't go viral after the breakdown video.
This could all seriously backfire on him. I see stories about people trying to track down the real Martha. This might not end well.

Stayed up till 3am watching this. It's no unnerving because we all get suckered into feeling sorry for people. You just gotta cut lose at the first sign of strange behavior.
This was excellent. Watched in one sitting. Deeply unpleasant for large parts, I found myself wincing and tearing up in parts. Profoundly sad.
His Dad was fantastic.
I'm not really interested in the real life Martha, but who is that writer? Richard Osmond is quoted as saying 'everybody knows'.

Well this was fecked up. Very good though.
Yeah it was great my entertainment twin. Finished it yesterday.
thought both leads were excellent. Wonder how much of it is true. I assume the broad story is but liberty was taken on some aspects?
poor fecker. I could definitely sympathise with him but it was so annoying seeing him continuously feck things up essentially because he liked the attention underneath it all.
Yeah some of the decisions he made were so stupid but they made a bit more sense after the horrific context of the stuff from the fringe and that comedy producer. I wonder if his name will ever come out? Twitter have already found the stalker.
The stalker has revealed herself in an interview with a Scottish newspaper. She claims she never went to prison and is considering legal action against Netflix.
Reading some of these comments makes me feel like I'd hate this movie with a passion. Sounds a bit like the horror movie where characters forget there is a light switch or that maybe they shouldn't go in alone.
It’s a series and it’s nothing like that.
Will watch!
