I don't know how to describe this miniseries. It's unlike anything I've ever seen, yet contains so many similarities to many shows. The fact that I watched it all in one day says a lot. It's about 3.5 hours long in total, seven episodes about 30-40 minutes each.
What we have here is a jaw-dropping story based on true events that will leave you speechless. I can say this much, the author captured the reality of his life in so profound a manner, I could not believe what I was watching. The confusion that takes place in the mind of a person who suffers with chronically low self-worth, for any number of reasons...it can be mind numbing, and crazy making.
Funny, most of us don't learn from advice, we have to experience it for ourselves. Such is life. The damage can cause people to repeatedly fall into the same mistakes and traps. Some say this is the definition of insanity, but it's more accurately disillusionment caused by a lack of faith and confidence in your intuition...a direct result of chronic abuse. And there is also some guilt and shame and the intense desire for acceptance that follows.
The main character exhibits all of these traits as a result of what he has endured, the rape, the stalking, the comedy, the gaslighting. What an extraordinary and chilling journey for this man. No wonder he was trapped in an endless loop of pity and remorse for his malefactors.
