there has been a spade of acid attacks in east london .. where attackers go and buy bleach from local corner shop .. and attack unsuspecting females..
😂
Wow great info!! You even got the real life footage of Martha laughing at one of his shows. The only thing is why is he calling her Martha when her name is Fiona?
I'm curious about something, because I had it on one of my UA-cam premium playlists, what happened to your video about the Luka Magnotta doc?
American here. What exactly is a Geordie? I have heard that word before used by someone from the UK but I don’t know if it’s a political position or a profession.
The fact Gadd didn't sugar-coat anything including his own faults (and really dark times) made the show an amazing watch.
Makes no sense. How do you know there isn't even darker things to him? He admitted to following her home and peeping through her windows because he was confronted over email and had to make an excuse for it.
Admitting to being a weirdo doesn't mean you haven't been up to more weird activities.
@@Disinfo321 Victim blaming .
@@nutcracker2916 yes I do blame him for following her home and peeping through her windows.
@@Disinfo321U don't blame her for groping him, stalking all of his social pages, fighting his gf and constantly pushing boundaries? He done one thing cus he got curious on if she was who she said she was
@@kraken6183 proof she instigated any of that? Besides, before anything he stalked her by going to her house and peeping through her windows.
Bottom line is the guy is a weirdo himself, they both are nobody is innocent here.
The performance from the 2 leading actors were phenomenal.

Absolutely Emmy worthy!
😂
And it’s the fact the main character is the actual person this happened to is crazy
Don't you mean.... Sent by ym iPhnoe
I liked how he didn't fully demonize her despite her being convicted of stalking and really messing with his life. He really showed how much he related to her and how people can be affected by their trauma to do "crazy" things.
The real story here is that she has never been convicted of stalking. WTF.
Traumatic experiences are ok! We all have them. People do their best on traumas too. Not just negative. Traumas are normal part of life.
@@druma9691as far as we know
Theres no real conformation though
@@Fiemus9She’s got restraining orders on file after stalking a politician in Scotland for years. Gadd says he didn’t go to the police as he saw too much of himself in her and thought she needed help not prison.
@@gemmad6887 When did Gadd say this?
Honestly one of the craziest series I’ve ever seen, genuinely unbelievable story
The bourbons are back
welcome to bronze beasts
She’s a bronze beast her
Wth why are you here
Fr made me feel new emotions. Loved it
The craziest part of the story arguably is not her. It’s why he put up with her for as long as he did - his own trauma. They were trauma bonding. He even said she needed help and felt sorry for her. It makes you reflect more on mental health because what good is being in and out of prison going to be for her and the world. She needs lots of therapy and medication. I’ve heard she has NPD, BDP - seemingly stemming from childhood neglect as portrayed in the final scene. You’d feel better knowing she was getting the help she needs.
I,ve been diagnosed with bpd but i don't carry off like that nutcase!!! Its a excuse for being a psychotic buffoon!!!😂 Just saying! 🤘😉🤘
yes i found myself getting SO annoyed with him for putting up with her - i get the idea of trauma bonding but he was so passive with his abuser too - very sad situation- i hope he is stronger now
@@margaretk1962 i think he wanted to confront him but went into survival mode as they call it. I think it’s all part of the brilliance of the show bc victims returning to their abusers is a real thing that happens & something a lot of us have questioned - and here is this horrific example he was brave enough to share. Probably something worth us all taking the time to understand. I’ve watched analysis and the psychology of it all and am still intrigued
@@margaretk1962from personal experience it’s due to very low self-esteem
@naj2276 I agree low self esteem will do that to you also from my experience
The actress that portrayed Martha was incredible. She deserves all the awards seeing how much she resembles Fiona.
Yes, we need a Baby Reindeer 2!!!!
Infuriating that so many ppl believe actor who played Martha is also the real life Martha. THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT WOMEN.
I sometimes found it difficult to watch and had to pause at times. The show felt incredibly realistic and emotionally intense. It takes you on a journey of various emotions, eventually leading to a place of love, understanding, and non-judgment. It helps you accept the character and their mistakes, just as they try to understand the motives of their persecutor. Overall, this show is a true work of art.
So true 👍
Well said by you and the story. So,so powerful
The r-pe episode made me sick. This guy should be reported to the police, I am 101% convinced this is not the first or the last time he did this to someone.
I cant decide if I should watch it or not...?
@@BobbiGail you should it’s a piece of art :))) &@&$ at the same time :)))
Baby reindeer was so well made. And the fact that guy really did that comedy but WORSE ….. absolutely insane. Look it up. Who let that man on a stage.
I found him genuinely funny!
@@liamburns8554 In his real standup ?!?! Impossible. If you did you do not want to tell people. He himself calls himself the worst he’s ever seen.
@@SticksAandstonesBozo so funny, his williams sister joke had me stitches. His stand up was so bad, it was funny. Similar to the film “The Room”. Genuinely funny
Yes, but woke culture was yikes 😬
Yes, but woke culture was yikes 😬
Gadd had already said his real life stalker did not go to prison, that it was resolved another way. This is Gadd’s story, it belongs to him, the shows he has produced drawing from his life have helped him heal. He’s turned the trauma in his life into a gift, kudos to him. Fiona stands to cash in as well now too, and it looks to me like shes already made a good start on this. Gadd’s account is open and honest, he bared all. He clearly has good human ethics and morals. Personally, I’m happy for his success. Let’s also not forget, he remains silent, whereas she has outed herself.
Its not honest, largely an embellishment at best.
Myself and my husband encountered “Martha “ she used to drink in our pub that my hubby was the manager of. She would only talk to males and was quite rude to us women staff. She did annoy our regulars by trying to talk to them when they were just trying to have a quiet drink. She came in one day with a big satchel and pulled out loads of letters ect and spread them all over her table telling people she was a lawyer and she was working. Not once did she read any of them just had them there. She would only buy 1 drink and make it last for a good few hours. My hubby had to tell her that if she wanted to stay she would have to buy a drink which she wasn’t happy about but she did buy 1. Then We started getting complaints sent through from an anonymous customer saying that it was very noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. We had an idea who it was but couldn’t prove it. Then suddenly “Martha “ stopped coming in. We were told that she actually lived in the flats near our pub so we guessed it was her. She also used to put letters in her neighbours letter boxes complaining that they were noisy.
Was her name Fiona Harvey
Hmmm are you sure your not Martha?
I want to find fiona. Tell me where she lives now
@@FanOMisery 🙄
@@Rankingz_95planning on stalking her?
The actress who played her was crazy good, in every way!
Amazing how folk are more concerned about Martha/fiona rather that the real rapist who is still free.
Exactly!!!!
People must have an idea of who the "producer" is?
So you know for a fact that the rape that happened in the series, done by Martha didn't really happen? She's a rapist too - and a stalker.
@@HigoIndico what??
@@HigoIndicodid you even watch it? Gadd claims he was groomed and S. Assaulted (repeatedly) by an older male in the TV industry. He was never reported or charged, according to the Netflix version.
He had his own condition called Stockholm syndrome which made him do weird things, he couldn’t control his urges, that’s why he kept going back and forth to his stalker and the guy with the drugs. I don’t think he even realised he had this condition at the time, before all this started to unravel
I was abused by someone who was supposed to care for me too and I don't know that it's necessarily stolckhome syndrome. For me personally I felt stuck but not necessarily empathy for this person. I'm sure there's degrees of Stockholm syndrome and not everyone's experience is the same . My experience was similar though I'm a way that I felt like there was no where to turn and no point in confrontation. Yes abuse can definitely mess with you but I'm not sure that he feels any empathy towards his abuser and usually that's a trait in stolckhome.i think that I see allot of myself in gadd and one trait in common is that we're both scared to be mean. Sometimes when we've gone through abuse we become nice to a fault because we don't want to treat others the way we were treated and we attract some awful people for sure.
As I understand it "Stockholm syndrome" was made up to try and make a hostage victim look bad and avoid police being criticised
Been waiting for this all day 😂❤

@@clo8792that’s part of the show you melon
Great 😂😂
Love this well done 👏🏻 👏🏻 🤣
Nice
His dad was bloody hilarious
I wonder if he asked his dad he could publicly say he was r worded by a priest. Cause he claimed he told his parents not to watch certain episodes
Episode 4 was the ‘Hard Watch’ Episode 😬🤦🏻♂️
And the goodbye train scene cracked me up especially after the powerful scene about if he would think the same same about his father and the catholic church broke me 😢
I couldn't stop laughing at his phone calls... Cracked up
Wouldn’t want to be his parents.
There’s something hilarious about a stalker who ruined lives is complaining for being stalked lmao. She is absolutely crazy. The stuff she’s saying in her Facebook is wild. She genuinely thinks she’s beautiful and the smartest person around.
Narcissism.
I think she has narcissistic disorder hence why she thinks she is smart, beautiful, important and confident.
That's narcissistic personality for you.
In fact, she looks ok 12 years ago, an a size 12. Dunno about ruining lives either. Are you mistaking Martha for Fiona?
I am so picky and don't enjoy lots of TV but this show is one of the best I've seen.
I've been there with boundaries and 3 guys in my life. Some people just didn't grow up with boundaries. I think he's brave AF for admitting everything and the abuse
The number of WTF moments in that show - must surely be some sort of record!
Hats off to the main actors in the movie! They were fantastic and deserve an Oscar (or an Emmy). 😀
Did you know the main actor played himself?
@@jenninscho1980 yes I did
I was gripped by the series and couldn’t stop watching. There were times it was extremely confronting and so sad to watch. But I’m glad he’s spoken his truth. As they say “truth will out”
Great video, I love your directness 🙌
Yeah, but its not the truth. The main events in the series are made up.
Richard’s father in the story is my favorite. Power scene, good storyline relevant to today’s families absolutely society. Thank you for mentioning it. Wish more channels would - love that actor who played the dad. Cheers from California
Same here - that was my favorite chapter in the series - loved when his dad asked "Donny" if he would think less him.
Epic.
I met my current fella over the offer of a cup of tea. 5 years later still going strong. Massive difference is that we got our own lives that are way too interesting for us to go stalking each other and we got something to talk about when we meet up.😃
Don't understand your point
@@user-gu7kk5zk2bif you missed geordies comment about "never offer a stranger a cup of tea" it wont make sense, its near the start of the video
Love it when you do these.. sometimes haven't got time to watch the whole doc, you break it down amazingly
Geordie might become her new obsession after this
He’d need to offer her a cup of for that to happen 😂
He might actually want that. From what I saw he loved it.
@@dudzter11 Or Newkie Brown , perhaps ?
I don't think even she's that desperate lol
She already giving Piers Morgan problems. No surprise
The actress who portrayed Martha Jessica may be overweight but she is a beautiful woman. She did a great job jumping into a character like that! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She done an amazing job didnt she.
@@BigPackMaC yes she did 💯
This is why I don’t talk to strangers
Lets just say it was very uncomfortable to watch, but impossible not to....
Great review! Was exceptionally well written, edited and portrayed.
It's scary because I actually had a stalker. Luckily to my knowledge it didn't last too long but I in fact don't know. They're very good about getting away with it. My stalker Was a security guard at my job so he was able to watch me all day, I spoke to this man once He made a whole relationship up in his head and everyone thought he was just telling the truth.
Yeah I was stalked and my sister is a lot like Martha so this show hit close to home
@@user-gu7kk5zk2b I'm so sorry I honestly relate to both. My husband was listening to the interview with the real " Martha" and the first thing that came out of his mouth was " she's just like your brother". Constantly lying to the point they believe their lies and In my brothers case he was diagnosed as anti social personality disorder with sociopathy. I don't tell Many people I just keep him out of our lives because he wound up being my abuser , but if it helps someone not feel so alone then I'm glad to share my experience. I do hope you've found peace, usually people like " Martha" as a sibling can be a very hard experience.
@@user-gu7kk5zk2b and I'm sorry I'm not trying to assume anything or open any wounds I just know from experience how a sibling like her is awful and In my case until recently I felt super alone. Watching the show actually made me cry and realize I'm not the only one with a Martha. My brother would kind of stalk me too but not in the same way. He would try to find my social media and get my number . He can just not accept that I can't stand him, that's the narcissistic part of them. But if your experience was harmful to you in any way please know I'm sorry 😔 and you're not alone .
Its crazy how the guy was re acting the events the fact it actually happened to him is so brave of him and the actress who plays Martha did a amazing performance you get so lost in the character fully and almost forget this is a actress portraying a part. All this stuff is the type of thing where you think “this aint real”
It was a crazy story but so well made. Gave us all an insight into mental illness of the enth degree!! Brilliant! But very sad you can see the 2 sides of it!
She reminds me of the Kathy Bates character Annie Wilkes in misery, complete nutcase.
Indeed!!
Same!
ironically she's now being stalked by the entity world publicly and being treated the way she treated gad
Richard Gad has said in interviews that he didn’t want Martha to be doxxed. That wasn’t the point of the showZ
Yeah, right? He made her exactly the same by accident, lol.
The best I’ve watched on this show 😂 don’t hold back 👏🏼
You sumed it up perfectly richard deserves a good life aft all that stalking n abuse ,she comes across as bonkers n trying to be cleverer than she is but tripped herself many times ,her and that other man should be prosecuted for what they did ,i hope richard has a fab life and i wish him all the best x
I think its much more nuanced than that. Truth will out.
Great analysis. This one has legs for sure. More to come in terms of fall out from this show. Also fully agree with you around removing toxic people from your life.
This is hands down one of the darkest & most disturbing show I've ever watched & I'm a true crime junkie who has seen some of the world's worst depravities
I literally couldn't stop watching this show as you said it was beautifully done the part where he bonded with his father amazing show highly recommended ❤
I’m so late to the party, I just finished the show yesterday. During the first episode I was like ok, this interesting. Martha was being so weird to Donny and making him uncomfortable, then she sends him a Facebook friend request and I thought for sure he would decline it. But he presses accept and I was like WTF??? And then boom, the credits rolled and I was HOOKED. The whole show, every single episode, every single scene was riveting. Not one slow moment or uninteresting character. And I love that Donny is not a saint, he did many things that contributed to the trauma bond between him and Martha, which makes the show so complex and interesting. Richard Gadd is a brilliant writer and was unflinchingly raw and vulnerable as an actor, he deserved every Emmy he was awarded. He’s currently working on a new show, I think it’s called “Lion” and I will definitely be watching that.
i really liked the first 3 episodes when it was about "Martha" the actress jessica dunning stole the show. wasnt expecting the 4th episode and the whole depressing parts about grooming/abuse and him being a confused closet bi-sexual 🤷♀ found it a bit depressing. Although after reflecting on it its a powerful piece of tv because of that stuff. reminded me of trainspotting in a way.
Epic breakdown for a legendary show well done mate.
Loved the series!!! One of the most disturbing & brilliant shows I’ve ever watched. Jessica is amazing as Martha!!! Poor Richard . He went through hell.
Love your commentary on this. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Brilliant series, brilliant breakdown🤣, just found you and subscribed 👍
I could listen to True Geordie give commentary on paint drying and really enjoy it ;)
Stop the cycle, don't continue it.
I really thought Martha was going to just be everything he’s been through embodied like this insecurities & trauma so to find out she was a real ass person like word for word tweets…. It’s wild!
Thanks for the link groundnews
Great commentary! Thank you!
this is the first time EVER that i have got something based on a sponsor ad - looking forward to using Ground News
What I worry about with daily mail naming her and interviewing her, it could reengage the abuse towards her prev victim
Yeah, she is getting unnecessary attention out of all this.
The Daily Mail journalist who interviewed her has alleged she's been harassing him!
Once again, I couldn't agree more! Love ya!
Yep, some fair comments in there. Richard Gadd was put through hell and suffered. He put pen to paper and has made a few quid from it. The writing, and acting by Gunning, is so creepy when you see the Piers Morgan interview and compare the real person. Don't get me wrong, I think she clearly has mental health issues, but just because somebody is mentally ill it doesn't stop them being a total tool. I would say that a great part of a person's personality is formed by past traumas, but using those traumas to justify being shitty to others is not on, and she deserves to be called out for it.
If “Martha sees this ya in trouble mate” 😂
Riveting entertainment. I've watched it twice, now. Even if the story weren't claimed to be true, the show is SO WELL CRAFTED: produced, acted, edited, scripted, cast, scored, etc. It goes DEEP! Bared raw. The scene with the parents? OMG...heart-wrenching. An emotional rollercoaster indeed. Plus, I'm a sucker for a voice-over. Fekkin' LOVED IT!
I like when you say Focking, lol, I believe that the internet and social media make everything easier for stalkers like her. scary
"What about PE? Good at that, were ya?" made me spit tea over my keyboard...🤣
I don’t know what to say!!
“Sent from iPhone”
Don't take my kindness for weakness, should have been his motto❤😂
one of my favorite people to watch always honest and says it how it is.
Muslims do do that
"Keep as many people as possible away from you".
Ha !
Aren't the truest things the funniest.
Great opening motivational speech about bing watching!
So True! True Geordie! Gan on 💪🏻
This story is insane! The misses and I finished it quickly
The woman is completely unhinged.
Absolute bonkers! 🤪
Have you been on her Facebook page, totally nuts.
One of the best guys on UA-cam.... had me laughing a few times...😂
OMG !!! I didn’t know you existed and now I’ve subscribed your channel!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you for making us laugh!!! But one thing is for certain you are absolutely 💯 right in all your videos!!!
Richard Gadd did something really brave by telling his personal stories, even if some of them could make people treat him unfairly. By sharing, he's not only helping himself feel better but also showing others that they're not alone if they're going through tough times too. It's like he's saying, "Hey, I've been there too." That kind of openness can make people feel more connected and supported.
I started waching this the other night after I'd had a few drinks,dint really know wat was goin on coz I was pissed,mite av to take another look at it
Can you put this much research into finding out who the comedy agent was who sexually abused him ?
No chance. Gary reich likely has a few bob to sue him .
A lot of names have been speculated on. A bit unfair on , ones that are not guilty.
Exactly this !
I agree, she brought that upon herself especially coming out and outing herself
"Imagine you're the actress reading that. Fuck me." 🤣
I keep getting this stuff about "Baby Reindeer" appearing on my UA-cam over the past... I don't know... week or maybe a couple of weeks, and frankly I have no idea what it's all about.
I love binge watching everything I watch, including your channel, but I'm thinking I should take your advice, lol, and get a freaken life 😂😂😂
I watched it many times abd i remember thinking, this will cause a stir! And,they didn't go to any lengths to hide her identity!
I can’t imagine the terror he must have felt at times.
What, when making himself look good despite the fact both parties are likely equally shitty and weird creeps.
Hey i binged it at work while i painted a bunch of door thank you very much 😂
As usual you did the best recap ever.
You would think with all the bus stop heckling he might have improcved in his comedy somewhat.
I'm interested to see if she's ever faced any real consequences or she's still out there hurting others
My thoughts exactly 💯. It’s so sad that it’s so real !
It isn't
The thought that apparently he was working in the Hawley Arms in Camden at the time of this, and I always drank in there at the same time blows my mind :')
What year did he work there?
@@h.j7469 going by what the series says, it was between 2015-2017
Was more known for being Amy Winehouse's local , previously.
I had to stop a few times with the man who really messed him up. Hard you watch. The part where he tells his parents was the best part. I like how the people weren't portrayed as one dimensional. There was more than one victim and he knew his choices weren't the best. Even the ending with the free drink suggests that victims often become abusers.
I know who the real Darrien is, and he is an absolute creep. He makes my skin crawl... he's going by a different name now though. Gross.
never watched you before but agree the show was gut wrenching, but so good. that fact that most of it was true in mind boggling
It wasn't
There's a saying that "comedy is tragedy plus time." It suggests that many comedians use humor as a coping mechanism to deal with their own personal struggles or hardships. So, while they may appear jovial and entertaining on stage, they may also carry a lot of sadness or pain when they're not performing. It's the irony of finding laughter in the midst of sorrow.
Darrien was the real villain in the show not Martha in my opinion
Gary Reich
STALKING IS A CRIME AND THEIR VICTIMS DESERVE PEACE ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this show. There’s a grooming scene in it that’s a nightmare to watch tho. Overall a very well made series
Great video Brian
Reindeer is the adult version of "If you give a mouse a cookie" 😂
when someone - an adult woman - admits that she has 4-6 email addresses, but maybe 4... or maybe 6.... she doesn't remember..... AND four cell phones because she likes calling different people from different phones... run.
OCD, doesnt make her a criminal.
"An absolute loser...no offense" 😂😂😂😂 ah the good old days 😂
Thought the show was very moving, sad in parts but I’m so pleased for Richard Gadd. Brilliant piece of writing. Good luck to him.
Don’t believe everything that you see on tv 🤦🏾♂️
Your intro felt personal haha good vid man
This is the first video I see from you I subscribed 😁👍
So good and of course sad for him. But I think I will rewatch it
Such a mental series. Found out a week later it was a completely true story and I was gob-smacked like what on earth ahaha. Very interesting watch tho 10/10 recommend.
Its noy completely true by a long way though.
