1. This looks good.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

2. warning...its intense. The actress that plays the stalker... deserves an Emmy.

6. I am still thinking of this

days after watching it. It has to be the most intense, courageous, and honest film I have ever seen. Humans are complicated creatures and most of us do not know who we are and why, but he went there. I have seen the same confusion in men who experienced what he did with the famous writer. So sad they have to suffer like that.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

9. there are moments when viewers say they are frustrated with choices made by the victim but...

then understanding that trauma causes people to act in confusing ways.

[KT2000]

11. Yes - that is what he captured so well

Humans are expected to be linear beings, and our own story lines are built on that. The truth is, we are not.

Looking forward to finishing the show tonight.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

8. yes. After binging it, i googled about the real story

10. Emmy worthy performances

By the two lead

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

12. agreed. He said that other actresses wanted the role but when Jessica Gunning auditioned, he knew she was the one

[bif]

13. She was scary evil

But definitely not a one-dimensional character.

[intrepidity]

14. Agree. Need to rewatch it.

It was intense, but worth it.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

15. after finishing all 7 eps, I rewatched episode 1

[mzmolly]

16. I agree.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

17. glad you watched it. It's still number 1 on Netflix BTW

19. There's a review of it in the latest New Yorker

[Chalco]

21. Netflix being sued by the real woman who stalked him plus...

Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning who played the main characters were on the Tonight Show the other night. I'm gonna watch it
On Demand sometime today to see what they have to say.

22. Great idea, better suited for a 90 to 100 minute film IMO

Not enough content to fill 5 episodes let alone 7. Too much filler with unbelievable plot twists: absurd, jumping the shark stuff. I couldn't finish it after the 5th episode.

I know how it ends having read the synopsis on Wikipedia. Two minutes reading versus another hour and a half watching. And that's just fine.
