A short miniseries of 7 episodes we follow the semi-autobiographical account of Richard Gadd, the star and creator of the series, through his troubled history, attempts in the world of stand-up comedy, and eventual spiral as becomes the latest victim of a serial stalker. Of course following a mostly true account the entire series has a much more significant weight to it, and the story is spoken through such raw honesty and vulnerability that many episodes will leave you weak. With that of course comes the warning of heavy themes of trauma, specifically sexual assault, but its such a powerful story to hear Gadd tell, even if difficult. He keeps things generally entertaining throughout, which is a massive feat in itself, coping with comedy comes through strong in this one. Jessica Gunning as Martha Scott, the said stalker of Gadd's character, honestly runs away with it, her performance is chilling. If you like these kinds of heavy series, this is the best I've seen in a while, but again it can be tough to watch. Would hesitantly recommend, great show.
