Let's see. A series about a mentally ill woman who can't type and uses compliments to insinuate her way into a man's life? Did it speak to me? Yes. Yes, it did.
My husband couldn't get through the particularly violent episode, understandably. I wish he had, I'd like to talk about the series, to know if he found the premise believable. I suspect he wouldn't. Of course I found it believable, and gratifying, to think that a man who is frightened of a woman would behave the way women do when frightened of a man.
(I am a little concerned the men I know will be inspired to confront me about my overly friendly flattery and begin calling me Martha. I really am.)
I've watched it and found it incredibly compelling, although admittedly difficult to watch at times. I'm curious what premise you are referring to. The fact that he didn't report her right away? Also, do I need to be vague to avoid spoilers for others?

AH - I think it would be nice to avoid spoilers. And yes, that he delayed, and that he encouraged and rejected simultaneously. I really want to know what Gary thinks he would do in that situation, because Gary is remarkably nice, especially to the ladies.

Yes, it would be interesting to hear from a male perspective. I found it completely believable in the circumstances that there was a bit of weird co-dependency there. But I may also have been influenced by knowing that it was based on a true story.

AH - same here. I wasn't even interested until I heard it really happened to some degree.
