Believe the hype, this is incredible TV.
Donny has moved to London, with dreams of becoming a comedian, but things don't quite work out. Working at a bar, he makes a friendly gesture to Martha, a gesture he'll come to regret.
Very rarely do I give a straight 10/10 review these days, but in this show's case, I had to. I didn't want to binge watch it, I had no other choice, it's spellbinding.
It almost lulls you into thinking you're watching a comedy drama, and there are definitely several funny elements, as it moves on however, it takes you to some very dark places, Donny's back story is quite something.
It's chilling to think that this is based on Gadd's own personal experiences, it makes you think and question all sorts, how much is real, how much is made up, where does dramatic license start and finish.
The acting is incredible, Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning are both phenomenal, the supporting cast also, truly on point.
One of those very rare shows that I didn't want to end.
The subsequent fallout is morbidly curious to watch, there's a lot of pain, a lot of damage.
10/10.
