I hope Richard Gadd's stand up routines are funnier in real life than it is here. Based on his semi autobiographical experiences.
This Netflix series charts Gadd's experience with his own real life stalker which later turned into a harrowing experience.
Gadd plays comedian Donny Dunn trying to make it as a comic in London and got lost in the capital city. He works in a pub to make ends meet.
One day in walks Martha Scott (Jessica Gunning) a rather large lady who looks distressed. Donny feels sorry for her. His first big mistake and gives her a cup of tea for free.
Despite not being able to afford to buy a drink. Martha tells Donny she is a high powered lawyer and then visits the pub everyday to see him.
Later Donny is inundated by texts and emails from Martha.
The first episode has an astonishing performance from Gunning who has been a familiar face on British tv screens for a few years. Needy without initially being threatening.
It is original as it relates to Gadd's real life experiences however stalker dramas are not new. You just wonder why Donny could not nip it in the bud so soon. Especially after he found out more about Martha.
