Mon petit renne

I went to bed thinking about this show and finished it the next day as I couldn't think past.

This type of show will stay with you for a long time. I saw a reviewer say how stalkers are glamourised in media, think Netflix's You. This raw and haunting story of comedian Richard Gadd's real life experience of being stalked by a woman he met in a pub and befriended, shows a dark and refreshingly honest portrayal of a terrible stalking experience.

Not only do we see the reasons behind why he did what he did, why he didn't stop when all the signs where pointing to danger, but the background to Richard / Donny's life is so incredibly brave.

Rarely do we see this story line in the media happening to men, although it happens very frequently to women in movies and tv, and for that I think it will strike a chord with many people. I won't elaborate on this more without giving too much away.

To summarise, this show is a must watch, but be warned it is not an easy watch and should come with trigger warnings.

I had no idea what to expect with this show, it just popped up on my Netflix recommended and I decided to give it a go. Without giving too much away Baby Reindeer tells the true story of a man and the woman who stalks him but it's so much more. It a brutally honest masterpiece about two very broken individuals, one who is destructive to others and one who is hell bent on self distrusting and how they form a bizarre and thoroughly toxic connection. The vulnerability it took to make this show is praise worthy and it was done with such elegance and rawness. It's not an easy watch by any stretch and it's jarring at times but if you are willing to sit through the brutality, there is a breathtaking beauty in this show rooted in the honesty it's told with.

I just finished binge watching the show. It's not an easy watch. It started out a little lighter but the more it progressed the harder it was to watch. Sexual abuse, mental illness, self destruction and trauma are some of the things that you'll see in the show. It's disturbing to think this is a true story.

The acting is phenomenal! I was very impressed with it. You can feel the raw emotion and stress that is going on in the lives of those people. I just can't get past the fact that it's a true story. There's a lot of mental illness and trauma involved. Makes you feel so bad for them. Hope they're all doing better now.

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.

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.
