Mon petit renne

I have never reviewed anything before, but I needed to make an exception with this series. The characters, the actors and the storyline is by far some of the best television that I have seen in a long time. I wish I could give more details, but I have just finished my second re-run and I am still filled with a pyrrhic feeling in my stomach. Each episode is so captivatingly disturbing and yet shines a light on so many important issues faced today without perpetuating any sort of moral judgement. If you are ever going to give a show a chance, let it be this one.

... This is THAT good! It's truly a tour de force (and forgive me for using that terminology but omg! OMG! When you write something this significant AND do it the justice it demands in the acting.. I mean... Ya 'tour den force' is the only fitting phrase) - it took me awhile to truly appreciate what I was looking at, what he was conveying and why but.. Sheesh! And lemme tell you right now, a 9 from me is exceptional! (for reference I reserve tens for things like an Attenborough nature documentary, or maaaybe Rick and Morty but both of those are for different reasons - I never bestow the NINER - but it's warranted - congratulations man, you should be very VERY proud - THANK YOU for this! Thank you FOR YOU!

Started this and thought it was a nice light thing to watch, especially judging by the trailer and the beginning of the first episode. It was pretty funny, very well shot, acting is great. Binged a few episodes and it seemed to get darker and darker until half way through the season and holy hell, that went a whole different way. This is an amazing show, it definitely isn't 'light watching' though. Had to switch it off and watch a few episodes of 'is it cake' just to clear our palette 😂 It's amazing but we really weren't ready for that, we really just wanted some light viewing, but it does grip you and reel you in to watch more. Probably needs a warning at the beginning because it was disturbia central up in here.

Absolutely!

"Jessica" offers a tour de force in acting prowess, with both leading characters delivering performances that are nothing short of extraordinary. Each episode takes viewers on a thrilling journey, with twists and turns that keep them on the edge of their seats.

In the end. It's a series that lingers in the mind long after credits roll, leaving viewers clamoring for more. With its stellar performances, impeccable writing, and bold storytelling choices, "Jessica" stands as a shining example of what modern series can achieve. Just loved it. I hope it never ends. Netflix thanks for that.

I came back here to review this series following Fiona Harvey (also known as Fiona Muir) A. K. A Martha's appearance on the Piers Morgan show where she denied all allegations made about her in this series.

The most admirable aspect about this series is the fact that Richard, or Donny, never portrayed himself to be just the victim. He was honest about his mistakes, and all the things he may have done to lead Martha on. He also didn't portray Martha to be just an abuser. I think the show did well to portray that Martha also had her good parts and was herself a victim to her childhood tragedies. There was nothing one-sided about the way he told his story. The series is quite unconventional in the way that the narrative was so much than just Victim vs. Abuser. That the story is multi-dimensional and complex.

This is definitely one of the most difficult series I'd had to watch. There were some scenes that left me stunned and speechless. Most importantly, I cannot fathom how painful and difficult it must be for Richard to reenact some of most traumatizing events in his life for the world to see.
