Not being offensive but feel this,like his lame attempts at comedy in the series wasn't great..
Maybe if someone besides him was cast as lead,it possibly"could of"made a more compelling story.
The lead did everything it seems to bring this onto a bigger platform such as Netflix,so feel the story he claims happened was a marketing tool.
After all.. It's also based on his one man play,over his alleged stalker. Fame seeking,anyone? Maybe he is the"actual"Martha making up,what's an otherwise fantasy to a dull or awkward existence.
I get about protecting certain life aspects,but anyone could claim about circumstances to gain attention or profit..
He never provides actual IRL proof(of alleged stalker)when asked in articles his answers are wishy-washy based on this or that,etc. If anything does actually surface,can it be took now as facts or saving face?
Would think if you're a victim & although each person handles it differently,his approach seems unusual to falsely motivated & a slap to those with trauma..
Also who would fantasize,about a stalker to help with gratification? Definitely isn't someone,afraid or not problematic themselves.
Why did I mention,problematic? He didn't seem to maintain good relationships,like with Teri or Keeley only with anything unhealthy & he was aware of it but continued this pattern.. Some people believe it or not,actually thrive in this & use it for personal advantage.
Only redeemable parts basically was episode 6 while on stage & some into episode 7 at his parents,but after that not so again..
He unfortunately never matures or makes smart choices,therefore is clearly his own worst enemy.
What clinched him being a narcissist or traumatic seeker,after the show meltdown went viral he finally gets his fame & throws it away..
Why? Because it wasn't for him,was needing to make sense of Martha stuff even though it was over. Than seeks out his abuser,not for justice or reasons making sense. Bottom line: This guy needs help!
Ever wonder the full reason,on the series title? Baby Reindeer. In episode 7,as it's nearly over you do.
The cinematography & several other production aspects,felt low-quality & amateurish too.
Anyway the only person that really brought a so-called factual story to life.. Was character of Martha,otherwise it was blah.
If bored watch this limited series yet don't expect brilliance,as you might have read or been told.
Not a series to rewatch as don't like something claiming to be one thing,but smells otherwise fishy!
