This series was very well appreciated by myself and so for the first time, Im putting in reviews. 😂 So this series is actually based on a real life story and the male lead was actually portrayed by the real person. Fairplay to him. That was brave as this series SPEAKS VOLUMES not just about the horrifying experiences he had but also about the characters. Personally, it wasn’t just about the horrors of Martha stalking Donny… But it was the substance of it all.. Maybe not everyone would really immensely relate to it but people who had similar feelings of shame, vulnerability, depression, cowardness, confusion, disgust, regrets, disbelief, manipulation, failures, hope, self pity/anger, and desperation would surely feel for what the man has gone through. His story runs deep and cuts through to someone making them also feel that they’re not alone. Delving into it, his story was poignant. It was indeed what lies beneath the storyline, depicting how many of us unconsciously allow ourselves to just be pushed around because we’re too nice, polite, empathetic or cos we lack assertiveness or firmness. How we’re afraid to refuse or let people down, or find it difficult to confront and stand up for ourselves that sometimes people take advantage of us and ruin us instead. How far low and obsessive a person could go sometimes to be someone, to be seen, to gain confidence, to feel accepted, valued and loved, to rush things, to take a chance to reach their dreams and hopes and seek validation from others shredding a piece of ourselves each time until none’s left then at some point, we get lost and confused, we hold on to things that would just destroy us more. At first, you’d think everything is harmless, you dont want to face what’s torn so you carry on but then you find yourself stuck into the same pit all over again, hating yourself realizing how broken and shattered you actually are, then tracing back the root cause, its sickening. You push and pull through life keeping it all in, you just want to let go. Then, just as you thought a light shined upon you to pick yourself up together, life then hits you back with something, still weak, you spiral down to shambles again. I suppose that’s life. But it can be real brutal to some genuine, soft, pure-hearted people, staining them, making them more special, coming out with something great, like this one. But then it also showed how everything just fell into place, how comforting it can be to look back on the journey. Afterall, we’re all just people with many flaws, and are naive with poor decisions that can come from different factors but above all, its important to embrace what made us stronger and wiser as they are what makes us whole and unique. I really thought this series would stress me out but it really moved me. It was clearly raw.
