Everyone processes sexual assault differently. It can often take decades to come to terms with it.
Gadd is certainly no superhero to anyone, and while I can relate to his perspective more so than his stalker’s, I’m certainly not inclined to take any of it personally. It is someone else’s story, not mine 
I also don’t think anyone has ever accused him of making all of it up. The texts, the msgs… they were all real, which is how they identified the real person. The woman was absolutely unhinged. Mentally ill.
Having dealt with a stalker myself, I don’t take these things lightly. Yes, stalkers aren’t always just women 
It still is an allegation.
Have you ever been on a jury?
And the show isn’t just about that, but you’ll never know I guess
I really don’t know why you would take someone else’s personal experience so… well, personal. The show isn’t about you, even if you’ve ever been accused of stalking yourself.
ETA, since you once again edited mid-my reply: I have not. It’s also not a court case we watched, but a S-H-O-W.
I’ve successfully avoided jury duty so far, and am unlikely to ever be asked again 
Single White Female - 1992
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? - 1962
Misery - 1990
Fatal Attraction - 1987
Heathers - 1998
Carrie - 1976
The Craft - 1996
All were movies have single women without children who were unhinged. So none of these movies should have been made?
I am a 66yo childless cat lady. Not by choice, but it is what it is. 
Why would I care what Netflix produces? I’ve not watched the series, as I don’t have Netflix. And as Hunterwali said, the creator unfortunately didn’t protect the real person from being outed, and I can see how Netflix was negligible in allowing that, as Hunterwali noted, and perhaps her defamation suit against Netflix will come to fruition for her. The U.K. courts will decide that.
True story - texts/messages/stalking happened. It was, perhaps unfortunately, told in a way not to protect the accused, and he and Netflix will have to deal with that in the courts.
I would not choose to watch most of the movies you have listed at this point in my life.
I think Fatal Attraction, in hindsight, was especially misogynistic. I wish I never saw it.
I don’t think I had as much empathy for the childless or never married (by choice or not), until I was close to 40.
Your Mileage May Vary.
I’m not saying anymore on the topic.
That’s fine. But obviously many other people liked them enough to watch them, to the point that Kathy Bates won an Oscar for her performance. My point was the premise you suggested upthread is essentially saying that the movies shouldn’t have been made.
Which would then mean the books some were based on shouldn’t have been written. The whirlpool in this case just keeps getting deeper and deeper.
Linda.
I did not say books should not have been written.
I did not say the Hollywood films should not have been made.
I said it was in poor taste for Netflix to be producing this stuff right now.
Hunterwali responded to that.
Hunterwali pointed out that it’s a British show.
I liked Hunterwali’s post to show I agree with what Hunterwali has written.
YMMV
It’s good & healthy to move on sometimes.
We finally started in on Bad Monkey and are enjoying it tremendously.
I’m confused by how you’re responding to me. I felt the principal problem is that by using the texts and tweets verbatim (from FH) he made her identifiable, which you also noted in a response. How are we in disagreement, except that I have identified this as an ethical issue.
I also don’t get your responses to my other posts, but my brain is tired after a long day of meetings so that’s probably on me. 
My responses were written in the spirit of a group conversation, which this was.
I was saying that it was obvious that he didn’t make any of it up or embellish it, since the 40k+ messages are evidence of that very fact. I agree that he should have done a better job at not making her readily identifiable.
That is all. Don’t think you missed anything important here.
Relax and watch something fun after your long day
Can we replace Heathers with Basic Instinct? Because I would hope the characters in Heathers were single and childless - they were in high school. (I also don’t think Veronica was at all unhinged, but perhaps that’s a discussion for another day.)
LOL. Watched in law school! These parts were always spot-on. Erle Stanley Gardner was a lawyer.
Rewatching Tehran on Apple TV +
So good.
Can’t wait for the eventual release of S3 which Hugh Laurie was supposed to join.
Of course I also rewatched Slow Horses while I was at it - damn weekly episode release of S4!
Advanced copy of Demi Moore’s, The Substance. Started off fine but the last 40 mins were a deep dive into ridiculous gore. Ruined a decent premise.
A Perry Mason aficionado friend claims hearing “immature” once replacing “immaterial”. Must have been a loose cast on the set that day.
I grew up on Perry Mason. It’s on MEtv every morning at 8:00 a.m. so I catch it fairly often. The Case of the Crimson Kiss aired a few weeks ago. Even to my untrained legal eye IMO Perry Mason skirted every legal issue in the book. Frances Bavier (aka Aunt Bee from Andy Griffith show) was in on it along with Della & Co.
OTOH, Apple tv’s Bad Monkey is a hoot.
I typically don’t watch procedurals, or many network shows, but I was casting about for something to screen for a class and settled on High Potential (ABC). Lo and behold, this is a fun, smart(ish) show with a cast you’ve enjoyed in the past and a lotta “you go, girl,” so you can totally watch it with your mom.
