I love how the last time he says "I had a convicted stalker, stalking me" he puts the emphasis on the "me". His tone suggests he's surprised and maybe a litttle flattered that someone thinks he's important. This show is a fascinating exploration of how sometimes we work against our best interests just to feel loved.
This is such a tough watch but it's so good and worth it! And yes his decisions are questionable but he explains his thought process along the way and admits multiple times that he shouldn't have done certain things etc. It very much explores the complexity of these kinds of situations and why humans make certain decisions.
I had a full on meltdown after watching it. Martha reminds me of my own narccisistic sister - who has ruined more than 1 life. The actress did a great job at portraying psychotic behaviour.
The more you watch, the more you will understand that it's not as black and white as you may think. The themes and topics that are highlighted in the show are done so in a way that is very nuanced and the show does a spectacular job at that.
That’s the thing y’all. Donny knows that he’s entertaining her and stuff. He felt loved by her and whatnot and like he had an obligation and he’s self aware that he’s making dumb decisions but it does seem pretty hard to shut this type of thing down. Her reaction in the coffee place seemed like evidence enough
yeah. im young enough and i dont get attention romantically at all and i struggle with confidence. ive been in situations where ive gotten closer to people i was kind of uncomfortable with and were weird to me just because you sometimes need what you can get. its clear his confidence was low and despite being heavily creeped out, the attention was better than nothing, it boosted his confidence
I think the simple answer (outside of all the trauma basically everyone has endured in this show) is these are lonely people. I'm suprised by this reaction honestly because that to me is obvious in the first episode. And not just lonely - theyre bored. That combination can quite literally kill you. I think I also related a lot to him having been through similar trauma - I find it very difficult to turn people away even when they present bizarre beahvior. Especially when they don't seem to have anyone else. To my own detriment and unhappiness even. I just don't like to see others in pain. I lack that "not my problem" attitude that everyone else seems to have lol. That being said I'd never have accepted her friend request lol. Not after seeing she'd been in jail. But I still understand why he did.
@@jillmayer9501 yes yes so true! My mom was talking about how she would shut it down immediately but with me id feel so in danger that if I did shut it down I’d die or be in immense danger almost all the time yk. It’s just so unfortunate that it went on so long but he’s still a victim and also it really ties in with episode four
@@jillmayer9501 exactly. i think the interaction between them at one of his shows was an obvious example that, despite being discomforted, the interaction alone and the intention (despite any malicious or selfish intent) was better than nothing, and made you feel seen
I don’t want to spoil anything but hearing how blind you’re going into this, I feel like you guys should look up the trigger warnings. So much worse than stalking happens and because the story is told so honestly, it’s difficult to watch. I’m not usually affected by shows or movies and this really got to me. I’m not even sure I’ll be able to watch all the reactions.
I definitely can't watch all the reaction episodes- I was super caught off guard by... you know the episode... and almost quit the show because it was so upsetting.
@@frikadell it was a suggestion based on the subject matter of episode 4, which they’ve watched and posted on patreon. I went into the show thinking it was just about stalking so episode 4 shocked me, and because it’s done in such an honest raw way, it stayed with me for a while. I’m not usually triggered or upset with that kind of subject matter in shows, but this one upset me, so was just warning them, they may want to prepare themselves, stalking is the easiest of all the abuses that Donny suffered.
I binged watched it. This reaction and reading peoples comments made me realise how f'd up I must be cause I can really understand Donny and most of his choices through the series.
I was so surprised and frustrated by all my coworkers not understanding why and how he ended up in a situation like this. Everyone in my real life only said things like it's his fault, why did he entertain it, why didn't he report sooner ect. None of them could look further than that. It was baffling to me because it's not how I saw it at all. Feel like the majority of people solely look at actions and the facts rather than also looking into why and what caused a person to make certain decisions/acts.
i feel really really bad for donny/richard gadd. he really went through a lot and i think he's really brave for making his real events into a series like this
One thing I liked about this is that considering he's the actual person this happened to (the real woman denies it but there's plenty of things that seem to point towards her really being a stalker and pathological liar, even having stalked others in the past), he didn't make himself look like a completely innocent victim who did nothing to encourage her behavior or to make her seem like she literally became obsessed with him out of nowhere. The show very much let's us know he did to some degree like the attention and fed into it for awhile (the possible reasons for why are explored more in later episodes) until he realized how bad it was becoming and just how unbalanced she was. Since he created this show and it's about something he went through, it would have been easy for him to just portray this situation as having been 100% one sided the whole time and not expose some of the very traumatic and intimate things he went through before meeting her (no spoilers), but he didn't which makes the show a lot better and makes me think it's probably mostly true to reality. Once you finish the show watch her (the real one) interview on piers Morgan, it's priceless lol
i assumed you’ll stop if you need to, but there’s an amazing scene from his character in maybe the second to last episode? i’d hope you can atleast see that❤
Yeah, you have to push through to the end. I almost stopped watching after the second or third episodes, but as messed up as it continued to get, it was still better to get to the resolution
Look, I get it, it is tough, it's one of the hardest watches I've seen but it is worth watching the entire thing. It's a great exploration of the complexity of abuse and human behavior like it's not all black and white, people might react a certain way that one might not understand depending on their mental state, sometimes it lacks common sense and this show is a perfect example of how is just not that simple
I don’t think you guys are ready for this show icl, it’s a mad one, one of those shows I’ll watch only once but remember forever. It definitely gets tough to watch but persevere if you can, as it's an important watch and unpacks so much, the ending is beautifully written.
Don’t want to spoil anything but definitely want to offer a trigger warning for the episodes coming up in this show. Things that eventually happen are very graphic and I had to take several breaks while watching because I almost threw up from it.
We're supposed to question his decision making, however please watch on; you'll see why he's such a flawed character & why he feels the need to entertain such questionable behaviour. But buckle up, it's going to be painful & tragic. I think you should react to an episode a day... or at least thrice a week.🙂
"starts weird and gets fucked" & "I don't know how I'm going to watch this" are both very accurate predictions. It's so well made, the writing is incredible, excellent acting, but it's TOUGHHHHHHHH
In the beginning I questioned him a lot as well, but then you get it, at some point I was annoyed but when he understands his actions we understand and its so sad 😢
Poor Rob fighting for his life with this one.😂 Worth keeping with it IMO. It's one of the most realistic depictions of trauma and self sabotaging I've seen.
I don’t think he means to lead her on but he was being friendly and not reading the weird signs. What I don’t get is him adding her on fb after finding out her bg. Either he wants attention too or he has deep rooted childhood trauma that leads to him making questionable choices
Sometimes, when you're hurt deep enough, your mind gets messed up. And things that might seem like common sense to most people (like don't entertain the stalker that is obviously starting to fixate on you) become complicated in your mind. I'm not justifying his bad decision making-- neither does he--, but people are complex and your history has an impact on your future until you decide to do something about it.. and even then it can still be really hard to break away. I think shows like these are important because it helps us open our minds a little bit I think to people that might not make the best objective decisions, and makes us ask ourselves if that in and of itself is enough for them to be undeserving of our compassion and understanding. Are those things only exclusive to people who make the right choice all the time? And if so, then who is deserving? Are we? Thank you for reacting to this show. I really hope you don't stop. I think it will be worth it for you at the end.
It's going to get so much worse. But I recommend that you finish it. I almost stopped watching after 2 or 3 episodes, too, because it was too much. But I pushed through because one of my friends wanted to discuss the ending with me, and I'm glad I did. It's better to make it to the resolution at the end. But also, I would have a nice long line up of happy and uplifting movies to react to (or just watch on your own) as soon as you're finished. It took me a few solid weeks of sitcoms and rom-coms to get out of the funk this show left me in
In real life she wasn't a convicted stalker. The story they used about her previous stalking was real but she only had a restraining order put on her. No conviction or jail time. The laws in Scotland make it hard to convict. I think that's (one reason) why in real life he continued the relationship with her and accepted the fb friend request.
When I first watched this I had to pause episodes 4 & 8 to UGLY cry & hyperventilate. It's the hardest thing I've ever watched and I've seen Requiem for a Dream like six times lol. I did think I'd never watch it again but it's so well done and really worthy of all the hype it got. Incredible look at victims and how they aren't just these pure innocent angels and in fact their trauma tends to make them make many mistakes. As hard as it is to watch at times I think it should be required viewing. I plan on watching it again - I'm just not ready.
Hello guys! I am Indian and have been watching your reactions to animes. I like watching animes with you. Now, I am hoping guys for some new stuff you should react to like Our Indian Cinema. I want to watch some Indian films along with you guys and want to know about your reviews. I am suggesting you some Indian films from which you can start watching Indian Cinema: 3 Idiots, PK, Taree Zameen Par (Like Stars On Earth), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Brother Bajrangi), Chhichhore (Flippant), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (Sometimes Happy Sometimes Sad), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Something Happens), Koi Mil Gaya (I found someone), etc. These are great films of Indian Cinema. Please do watch them.
Donny suffered from people pleasing tendencies and low self esteem . Because he never felt seen making it out of his career and etc .. the attention didn’t matter who it was coming from even if it was from someone like Martha . Even though Donny knows Martha is crazy he still gives in to her as a form of self sabotage .This show really does give a different perspective on abuse and how it can really be complex and yet not all the same I’m excited to watch this series again with you guys because it’s really so interesting and heartbreaking to see
Did anyone else get constantly angry watching this show? I almost didn't finish watching it because I was so frustrated with everything the guy did, actually what he wouldn't do. I didn't know the actual actor is the victim though so that changes a lot, this is his way of maybe explaining how or why this went on so long.
I never got angry. As soon as he accepted her friend request I knew something horrible happened to him. I can see why it would be frustrating to watch - I mostly just felt heartbroken for him.
It is a though watch but I swear it is really worth it. What I loved about this show is how everything is very nuanced and the creator of the show (and the guy playing his role) was very honest by showing how he also fucked up by letting her in so easily. His behavior shows the self destruction of people victims of abuse and it is critical we have more honest representation about that. The show is very hard to watch, brutal and big TW about sexual and psychological abuse but in the end, it is such a beautiful show with the message it gives out. You should really watch all the episodes to understand.
Guys please trust the process with this one. It’s a tough watch but see it through. It’s gets really interesting and everything makes more sense at the end.
I had a similar experience as Bryce with this show. I was so cringed but impressed with the first two episodes that I recommended it to my mother and best friend. Then I watched episodes three . . . then four. After episode four, I texted my mom and friend a warning and a preemptive apology. My mom didn't make it past the first episode. My friend quit after episode four. Even still, I finished it and think it is uncomfortably excellent. I fully expect it to receive future accolades.
This series helped me somewhat understand why some people cant or dont get rid of their stalkers. I had a friend who was in a similar situation. He had a stalker who was boldly approaching and openly interacting with him and we told him to just say outright that he finds her creepy and to just leave and disappear from his life because he kept being either nice to her or just ignoring her so it may have been sending a message that what she's doing is alright. we didn't know there may have been underlying complex feelings involved, and it's not as simple as telling someone you find annoying and clingy that they have zero chances with you and you dont want them around that'll make them go away and peace will be restored.
I watched this with my friend and all the second hand cringe made it so hard to get through. I forgot just how hard it was... until now. I'll try to relive it haha
Just give it a shot guys, so much development over the story arc. Richard Gadd really leaves himself wide open in such a brave way. I watched the whole thing in one sitting, could not stop, had to know where this story was going!
I for the life of me couldn’t understand HOW some people managed to BINGE this show. A friend of mine begged me to watch it because it had a big impact on him, so I wanted to be able to discuss it with him. And I had to take a week long break after episode two. And a two week break after episode 4. Then, after 5, I just didn’t finish the show ✌🏻
I found this show really hard to get through, had to skip an episode. I hope you guys took care watching it (if you’re the type to be affected by this kind of subject matter) 🫶🏾
You’ll know why he acts the way he does in episode 4! I was frustrated at his bad decision making too but you’ll get why once you get to that episode. Big trigger warning for it though
This was the second show that is impossible to watch after Dahmer. I watch only two episodes because i was feeling so uncomfortable. I am glad i can watch it through you guys
A bit late here... I loved this series but yes, the main character made very questionable decisions, which is explained later on but still drives me mad!
There’s no such thing as a perfect victim. It will make more sense how he’s acting as the story goes on. Even had he not followed her home she would have still stalked him. Another victim just came forward. She stalked a woman before him.
I do like that the twist is a woman stalker this time instead of a man for once so it’s a bit refreshing in that manner but still not continuing lol, it’s too much for me honestly after a few episodes
It gets better! When he realized she was stalking him and then looked at his comedy kit and accepted her friend request.. I took that as he continued their friendship for his career because it was finally going well due to her interaction during his set

Rob is gonna be fighting for his life this whole show. They both will but oh man the amount of times he covered his face in just this first ep 😮💨
the cringe affects him more than most. what a sweet kid lol
Especially the stand-ups, i could not handle it, Rob will die from cringe
I'll say this - there's definitely a lot to unpack with this show.
It’s even crazier in real life with the fact they gave her a platform
yes, it stuck with me for a while.
I love how the last time he says "I had a convicted stalker, stalking me" he puts the emphasis on the "me". His tone suggests he's surprised and maybe a litttle flattered that someone thinks he's important. This show is a fascinating exploration of how sometimes we work against our best interests just to feel loved.
I loved the nuances in this. It also does away with the idea of “the perfect victim” and shows a more realistic grey area.
Rob's social anxiety and second hand embarrassment will go through the roof during this show. Poor man was about to cry.
This is such a tough watch but it's so good and worth it! And yes his decisions are questionable but he explains his thought process along the way and admits multiple times that he shouldn't have done certain things etc. It very much explores the complexity of these kinds of situations and why humans make certain decisions.
THIS!
Baby Reindeer tore me open and left me feeling raw. When he broke I broke. Please take care of yourselves while watching and after.
This is spot on.
I had a full on meltdown after watching it. Martha reminds me of my own narccisistic sister - who has ruined more than 1 life. The actress did a great job at portraying psychotic behaviour.

@kirstensmith9367 I agree with you totally. It amazes me that people have such little empathy.
I actually understand donny's decision tho so ur not the only one 😅
Unfortunately, you’re going to have to keep watching to understand why he seemingly indulges her and doesn’t make himself clear.
Rob's reaction to the phone going off outside of her window took me out 🤣🤣
i feel really really bad for donny/richard gadd. he really went through a lot and i think he's really brave for making his real events into a series like this

So glad y’all are reacting to this. It is intense but a must watch.

Guys please trust the process with this one. It’s a tough watch but see it through. It’s gets really interesting and everything makes more sense at the end.
Crazy show, I feel like the best word to describe it is unnerving!
We need a Rob cringe counter 😂
I had a similar experience as Bryce with this show. I was so cringed but impressed with the first two episodes that I recommended it to my mother and best friend. Then I watched episodes three . . . then four. After episode four, I texted my mom and friend a warning and a preemptive apology. My mom didn't make it past the first episode. My friend quit after episode four. Even still, I finished it and think it is uncomfortably excellent. I fully expect it to receive future accolades.
Holy shit was not expecting this, this might the heaviest shit ya!l have reacted to
I couldn’t bring myself to watch this show after everyone said how f’ed up it is but I’ll give it a go with you guys.
I was Rob the 2 episodes i could push through 😂
This series helped me somewhat understand why some people cant or dont get rid of their stalkers.
I had a friend who was in a similar situation. He had a stalker who was boldly approaching and openly interacting with him and we told him to just say outright that he finds her creepy and to just leave and disappear from his life because he kept being either nice to her or just ignoring her so it may have been sending a message that what she's doing is alright.
we didn't know there may have been underlying complex feelings involved, and it's not as simple as telling someone you find annoying and clingy that they have zero chances with you and you dont want them around that'll make them go away and peace will be restored.
I watched this with my friend and all the second hand cringe made it so hard to get through. I forgot just how hard it was... until now. I'll try to relive it haha
Oh, Martha, Martha, Martha. Even if you looked like Scarlett Johansson, that beef curtains line would be cringe. Too much, girl. Pull it back.
Just give it a shot guys, so much development over the story arc. Richard Gadd really leaves himself wide open in such a brave way. I watched the whole thing in one sitting, could not stop, had to know where this story was going!
I for the life of me couldn’t understand HOW some people managed to BINGE this show.
A friend of mine begged me to watch it because it had a big impact on him, so I wanted to be able to discuss it with him. And I had to take a week long break after episode two. And a two week break after episode 4. Then, after 5, I just didn’t finish the show ✌🏻
I’m with Rob, I barely watched the first episode, as I found it very cringey! I haven’t gone back to it .. yet.
This show is really good but I honestly have never felt more uncomfortable watching a show. It's so unsettling!!!
I found this show really hard to get through, had to skip an episode. I hope you guys took care watching it (if you’re the type to be affected by this kind of subject matter) 🫶🏾
I know what episode 💀
Martha’s actually so funny in this ep 😂😂😂

You’ll know why he acts the way he does in episode 4! I was frustrated at his bad decision making too but you’ll get why once you get to that episode. Big trigger warning for it though
This is making me super uncomfortable as someone who’s dealt with a family narc that’s stalked as well. This is goosebumps down my back type thing
If you have to explain your jokes you know you're doing it wrong.😬 4:45
This was the second show that is impossible to watch after Dahmer. I watch only two episodes because i was feeling so uncomfortable. I am glad i can watch it through you guys
A bit late here... I loved this series but yes, the main character made very questionable decisions, which is explained later on but still drives me mad!
I honestly had to mentally prepare myself before finally watching this
I couldn't watch more than a few episodes I think, because the series just made me feel uncomfortable
There’s no such thing as a perfect victim. It will make more sense how he’s acting as the story goes on. Even had he not followed her home she would have still stalked him. Another victim just came forward. She stalked a woman before him.
This show was such a hard watch for me. We'll see if I can manage to stick with the reactions. There might be one episode I have to sit out.
no idea how you guys are gonna censor episode 4.. you literally won’t be able to show any of it … yeah it’s baddddd
Same as you guys don’t know much about this except it is supposed to be really messed up so I guess good luck to all of us
martha steals the show her expressions are amazing
Alot of people missed the point of this series so i always got let down by people who reacts to it ,😂
After you watch it, check out the real story behind the main actor
Please react to high school musical the musical the series please!!🙏
The main guy has the worst decision making out of anyone ive ever seen i get why he does it but really
Y’all ain’t seen nothin yet …. Btw this is. Sent from my iPhone 😂
I do like that the twist is a woman stalker this time instead of a man for once so it’s a bit refreshing in that manner but still not continuing lol, it’s too much for me honestly after a few episodes
I’m guessing he has childhood trauma that’s led him to people please as an adult and not putting an end to it sooner
you just gotta watch the whole show to understand his actions
The main actor is the real life person that all of this happened to.
Definitely one of hardest shows to watch 😢
oh man this is gonna be a tough watch guys 😭
I've been waiting for guys to do this
It gets better! When he realized she was stalking him and then looked at his comedy kit and accepted her friend request.. I took that as he continued their friendship for his career because it was finally going well due to her interaction during his set
She´s nuts
