  • It all began with a cup of tea. Netflix's miniseries about the real-life experiences of a bartender who becomes the object of a woman's crazed stalking obsession was one of the most compelling and interesting shows I've seen in quite some time. Believe that.

    I've never seen a better portrayal of what being the victim inside of an abusive relationship actually looks and feels like. The shame, the mistakes - the raw honesty with which the show approaches things was incredible. I thought it was a masterpiece in storytelling.

    I read an article by a British female philosophy professor who writes about toxic patriarchy and although she admits that men can be victim of abuse she needs to point out how a story like that can take away from the abuse women suffer, like victims are caught in some zerosumgame. And on top of that she talks about the female actress and her body weight implying how it reinforces stereotypes of plus sized bodies... and then there is this review.
    I would say it is remarkable that the enlightened academic can't see behind the tropes and her own viewpoint whereas the toxic alt right grifter gives a balanced view on the male part and has nothing but praise for the actress who plays the female part, not even once mentioning her appearance, because you know it doesn't matter as she commands the screen with her acting abilities. But then again, it is 2024 and by now I know who I`d rather be in the woods with...

      This is why I'm here. I could be the posterboy for the progressive movement: due to my education and experiences I say things that many would consider 'woke', I was bullied for nonconformity, etc. Yet drinker's reviews generally align with me and I think he's genuinely about storytelling as art, not posturing.
      Echo chamberlain did an amazing asstearing on Hellofutureme after the guy attacked drinker and co. (even little platoon, a gay guy) in a video, calling them the usuals. Echo is a self proclaimed left winger yet he says in that reaction video that he much rather hangs out with these people than the activist 'reviewers' on the other side. Echo calls those activists identity junkies, which is quite apt I think.

      It can get super crazy. I had that happen in the mid 90s. Lived in an apartment building with locked entry and she would follow people in and camp out at my front door, knocking endlessly. It was an older building with those iron fire escapes and she would climb out on it, knocking on my windows. Showed up at restaurants and bars I might visit with my friends on weekend nights. Followed my girlfriend around too. She was a fellow employee at a company I worked, with 900 employees and when they implemented internal, electronic messaging, would constantly send me messages about how we were soul mates and other crazy things; those eventually got her fired when I turn them over to my boss and HR. I think the entire debacle lasted about a year.

How contradictory and confusing it can be. It changes you and the way you see the world and yourself. This was such a brave and effective storytelling, best piece of television I watched in years. The acting was so incredibly well done that I was honestly disturbed and felt everything the actors were going though. Hard to watch especially if you or your loved ones went through it but also validating. Glad you loved it too! Great minds think alike!

    The "reunion" Donny had with Darrien inthe last episode still gets me. How being back in the Lions Den like that reduces him to a Deer in Headlights again. He can't speak, or form defiant disagreement or vengeance against Darrien.
    I was initially perplexed by that. Why didnt he confront Darrien about everything, why didnt he lose it in front of him in ways he told Martha to get lost at times? The outpouring of all the pent up rage, hate, grief.
    I understand it is showing how the abuser still has "control" over Donny interms of reducing him back of sorts, to that same state of mind despite some time being passed. I get it. 👍But I found myself almost yelling at the screen at the same time, urging Donny to at least react and respond in a way for some sort of closure.

      What you were expecting to happen is the romanticized version of what should have happened in the best case scenario. This show goes deeper that that. I understand your frustration because I felt the same thing many times during this show. But I bet 8 times out of 10 the reaction you were expecting to see never happens. And what was here portrayed is the real thing. I would't know because I've never been in that position but it felt human and broken and we all are broken in some way or another.

      @@enkiitu 👍 Good Points well made. I knew Donny wasnt going to suddenly become John Wick and violently claim his revenge via a series of stylish beatings upon Darrien, but I initially was rooting for the guy to say something, anything to give him an upper hand. Have him walk outta there feeling that he confronted his horrific past and left the room with a weight lifted from him.
      But as you said, that, in most realistic cases that doesnt happen. I have thankfully no idea about the horrid connection to Darrien and loss of control Donny still had here, but yes I understand the scene more from talking about it, watching it again.
      The usual romanticized version of closure is what I and others would have liked to see, as it would have been that way on other shows. 👍But yes indeed it sadly isnt always like that.

      i am thankfully not a victim of sa or stalking but i have a similar personality as donny. i'm afraid to get angry or set boundaries because i'm afraid of further confrontation with other people. donny doesn't have the strength to fight the assholes in his life possibly due to his upbringing. i think he was lonely as a child and probably bullied and if he stood up for himself he would only get in trouble. this would explain donny's behaviour throughout the whole story. he is passive and it's never going to change.

      @@tonis6347 👍 Excellent comment. I understand that feeling. Being repressed and polite and quiet in the face of confrontation or arguement. Thinking that, if Im being nice, or friendly towards somebody who is being an asshole to me, then the "act" of being co'operative and sound will diffuse the situation. Killing the tension with kindness.
      Only, afterwards, it can build up and release in other ways. Ive a lot of incidents with some people whereby I let them away with saying something snide and attacking to me. Id laugh it off. But alone later on, Id reprise the incident in my head, thinking out how Id liked to have said things, re'enacting it in my mind, delivering killer blows of verbal vengeance.
      I can thus think that, facing an abuser after some time, despite instigating the reunion as Donny did inthe finale, I might too loose my words, retreat within and hold back under fear of confrontation.

    Kinda insane that people criticize the “he did this to himself” argument when he literally did, several times. And what’s worse it’s always under the guise of seeking approval even though he has several loving people in his life he just throws away. Gadd is a grifter and it’s crazy to say this show was a stroke of genius when he literally just acted out his own life experiences. Would it be so crazy to say maybe he allowed himself all of this suffering in the hopes it would get him famous?

    Hopefully that will shine some light on sexual abuse and how it affects victims. "Buy why didn't you go to the police straight away", "but why did you come back", why this, why that. Applying logic from afar is easy. But if you are in the situation, there is no logic, the victims brain is fried by the act, all rational goes to hell. Messes with your perception of everything - from sexuality to future encounters with predators. Like a stalker for example.

Trans inclusion wouldn't be poopooed if it weren't for the religious fixation media has on milking them for topical relevance, and also all those kids pressured into a lifetime of pill use, and also all the effort put into shoring up the community's image so people feel ashamed for pointing out facts no other group could be associated with and emerge unscathed. That's what happens when corporations pick a messiah; they go for profitable, virally transmissible, and easily swayed by meaningless signs of approval. The way the pills zonk your long term focus helps with the angry body shield aspect as well, good for manipulating group reactions to news stories.

    While the acting is good, and it touches on some interesting psychological issues, the MC stays just too darn unlikable. And it’s not only that he is so extremely insecure and easily manipulated, but that he acts without any impulse control at all. Getting stalked? No problem! Just go to the police, threaten the person involved and then… have sex with her? Come on! Having self destructive sexual desires is one thing, but then also (almost always) acting on them is just plain stupid, and gets boring really fast.
