Just as an addendum to yesterday’s entry, if you can I would thoroughly recommend checking out Baby Reindeer on Netflix. I can’t really comment upon whether it’s based on fiction or reality of course, but either way just two episodes in and I’m engrossed. It’s very psychological and very very dark: it’s clearly about a woman with some extremely deep psychological issues. To a certain extent the program strikes me as a commentary on the modern world, where everyone is constantly in touch with one another via social media to the extent that it can become obsessive, or at least unhealthy. The picture the series is beginning to paint just two episodes in, of a clearly disturbed woman stalking the main protagonist both in reality and online, is extremely disconcerting. Either way I’ll continue to watch in the hope of getting to the bottom of what I heard about yesterday.
Above all, though, one thing is certain: we never see stuff like this on conventional TV.
