It was hard and uncomfortable at watch at times, but at the same time I had to finish it. I couldn’t rewatch it though!

If you don't take it at face value as factual, it's alright.

Richard Gadd gives me the creeps though and after hearing from the woman who worked in the Hawley Arms at the same time as him and his horrible friends, I like him even less.

I've just read that it's up for a load of BAFTAS.

I thought it was brilliant. Harrowing, though. It's not an easy watch and the main character, who is effectively playing himself, doesn't try to make himself likeable at all. It's not a straightforward stalker narrative.

What did she say about him

First few episodes were v good. It got quite weird and not my thing towards the end. Also a part of me was wondering about Gads motives and integrity in making the series so that possibly played in to me enjoying it less as it went on.

I loved it

Aworldofwonder · 27/03/2025 18:34

Don't read up on it. Do watch it. It's great.

It’s terrific. A shame that the women was hunted down by people in the end though. She is obviously very unwell. I had both sympathy and disgust for both characters

It’s gripping, yes! Some of it was a bit hard to watch but overall I thought I was really good.

Although you have been advised not to Google, I do recommend this article by Stephen King. He's a huge fan - which may tell you all you need to know to decide whether to watch it or not.
