I am so unbelievably happy for this man.

[@cathybess]

Yes! Me too!

Am here just having finished the Netflix series. What a story, what an actor, what a script, how brave. Thank you for your courage and art.

[@Vlatka211]

Me too

[@elva6671]

I hope he makes a lot of money from the series - he deserves it!

[@funtimefranky]

He did. Now the real life Martha has been found and is considering legal action as apparently it’s a load of crap.

[@johnkohlmeyer1499]

I binge watched this series. I could not stop watching. Every subject from his relationship with a trans woman to being drugged, groomed and raped by someone he thought was going to help him succeed, to how he along with us viewers yo-yoed emotions toward Martha from pity to hate and back to compassion. Very moving on every level.

[@vlnow]

This dude is a great writer and actor. Best British show on netflix for years. Thanks for sharing your story Mr Gadd

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Haven't been this deeply affected by a series in a while. Richard Gadd is extremely talented.

[@CME1994]

One of the best series I’ve seen in a long long time. Brutal, exciting, scary, raw, sad, extremely funny. It has everything. Unbelievable acting from him aswell considering he’s a comedian and not an actor. Truly unbelievable and a must watch.

[@alexlazzerly3677]

Major props to Netflix for taking a chance on a project like this.

[@JacWarner]

Just worried about the “Martha” character in real life coming after him again. What a deeply moving and profound series the Netflix one was. I wish it his one man show was available to watch. I’ve only just finished watching the Netflix series- am still processing.

[@necrosadotor]

don't worry, it'd be impossible now with all this attention

[@sillygo0oser]

She’s threatening a lawsuit against him and netflix

[@necrosadotor]

@@sillygo0oser haha well that will 100% not go through

[@CottonKandyCake]

She literally is! She outed herself

[@toyyoyworld3901]

He really deserves the best

[@Sifeddine.frh7]

I finished the last episode on Netflix. His story affected me and gave me motivation for my life. He is a legend, guys. He worked hard to reach this stage. He is a great man.

[@elenauifalean4922]

I really hope that he will win at least one award for his series !

[@Missjunebugfreak]

He should win an Emmy and Golden Globe for this series.

[@Anna-pk2ee]

This True Crime Story is beyond Great. I am so thankful for people Like Richard they speak publicly about their Most traumatic experiences. We can learn a lot from it!

[@campus1985]

His success is all our success! He's won hearts❤

[@fatmaal5296]

Episode 4, the scene where he realised that the abuser was trying to control his mind was the exact moment I too figured it out and it was terrifying I swear I never felt such thing in a long time. What a great show! Thank you for sharing your story to help thousands of people out there. You’re brave and I wish you now all the fame and success you truly deserved!

[@winewanker]

Such a brave piece of work. Bravo to Richard Gadd.

[@Chris-ui8qd]

Unbelievable show, true masterpiece and fabulous acting from yourself and Jessica in particular

[@QueenRiri888]

I hope he could win a Golden Globe or Emmy in his performance… and also to the Martha actress. She did a great job tbh.

[@sassijay]

Here after Netflix. Well done what a brilliant show ❤

I want to thank him for his work!

[@arturharper6549]

Just saw the Netflix show. What a talanted person. The Netflix show was incredible. The acting in the show was absolutely amazing.

[@jengomango6476]

I'm just 2 episodes in and the series is bonkers.

Love baby reindeer

Quirky as hell. Loved it!!

Was a great show, great acting

U were amazing 👏 💖 💗

[@nerd26373]

This guy came a very long way. He's navigated through the ups and downs of his life, career, and relationships. He's been used and stalked. Then he gets the opportunity that made him more popular.

[@edzrx8]

love the show bro

[@CreepyBlueAnimals84]

This wasnt on my Watchlist radar at all but I thought, what the hell, I'll check it out. BEST...DECISION...EVER!!!

[@yasemindemiray]

Real Martha Fiona Harvey was in Pears Morgan show. He wrote Martha character so similar to real one.

[@stuartwadlow9815]

Take's a lot to shock people these days but his show on Netflix is a tough watch

[@jeanwelsh6128]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@stefanialanfranchi629]

[@neoloanderson6676]

10yrs 👀 that time frame is a lot longer than depicted!

[@taraqueen58]

Just watched on Netflix. He deserves accolades for his performance given he's reliving a very harrowing time of his life.

[@Mastertrickortreat]

I wonder how's Martha doing now a days would love to meet her.

[@npraoxx]

I hope he goes on to make other shows? Can he start producing? RICHARD GADD you’re a genius!

[@luce7380]

So he played himself that's cool

[@Gareths-Guilty-Pleasures]

But did any of it really happen? He never pressed chsrges against those who supposedly ruined his life. Martha didn't go to prison, nor has anything come out for real about the stalking and all those messages. It's just as believable that these 2 are friends that may have had a fling and even created this script up between themselves. Martha gets an interview with Morgan, Gadd gets a Netflix series and West End show after being desperate yo become famous. Could it all just be a very elaborate script?

[@CloudIsla]

This guy is a genius

[@giovannysmith9829]

Just saw the show and it was a mater piece.

[@ih8stuff3]

The Guradian just wrote the most repugnant article I've ever seen. "The dangerous fallout from Baby Reindeer: should Richard Gadd have been less honest about his abusers?" How utterly reprehensible.

[@dirkdiggler.]

How does he look older here than Netflix?

[@Pluto-vn8tw]

This guy was 30 in this video.. he looks 45

[@msrainbowbrite]

i found this show soo frustrating and when i didn't think it could get any worse. it did. It wasn't one cup of tea. He gave her a free coke every day. Which she never drank. He could have started by not pouring her a drink.

[@alisonreed4408]

People are not perfect and he actually admits his mistakes in 6th episode, that he had such low self worth because of what happened to him earlier in life, that a part of him enjoyed the whole ordeal at the beginning and he blames himself for being part of the reason the stalking happened. IMHO honesty is another aspect that makes this series outstanding, he could have changed the story line and made himself look good and not portray that he has encouraged Martha but he chose not to do that

[@user-ol4im6kh5f]

You either get it or you don't, you clearly did not.

[@msrainbowbrite]

@@alisonreed4408 yeah i understand. I found it so frustrating. i can understand the cup of tea but after that, why did he keep pouring her a drink when she never drank it anyway. He was just wasting product. She lied the first time they met. At the bus stop, he could have just called the police to have her taken to hospital but he chose to walk across the street. engage with her again and offer to take her home. She was harassing his friends and family and he did nothing. Then when this is all over, he wanked over her picture. I hope he gets therapy

[@alisonreed4408]

@@msrainbowbrite like I said, it is my understanding that he encouraged it because he enjoyed the attention, because she made him feel good about himself whilst he hated himself and was broken inside from having been abused

[@Chiara_Elena]

Yeah, it is frustrating but it's also a very realistic depiction of self-destructing behavior. I think you can encounter it in many people with such tendencies. Not a nice thing to witness, for sure.

[@skinzi55]

Anyone else not believe his story

[@the_Arkham_Batman]

Probably just you cause you stalk people

[@harley4303]

It's very rare for people to lie about these sorts of things when they can easily be disproven.

[@user-John666]

I'll go against the grain here and say that he's not only a very poor comedian, he's also obviously cashing in on the scenario. But surely the biggest question is why won't he name the guy who groomed him? Would we be as accepting of a victim of, say, Jimmy Saville, who refused to name him and allowed him to carry on? I call bullshit on the whole thing.

[@harley4303]

Have you considered the power dynamics at play? The way Gadd could be blacklisted from working in film/TV if he were to accuse this person? Maybe he doesn't have direct evidence, it's one man's word against anothers. Rape often happens when only 2 people are in the room: victim and perpetrator. How is he supposed to back his allegations up? All he can do is tell his story.

[@user-John666]

@@harley4303 The way the perpetrator was portrayed will mean that certain people in the industry either know who it is or have a good idea. If he's as close to the real 'martha' as she was portrayed then they'll be even more certain. Gadd owes it to potential other victims to say more.

[@nostalgia9338]

This guy honestly needs Jesus. We all experience low self worth to a point we would try and do anything to feel validated. But for heavens sake, how about just not caring what others think and just find a decent job. It's not like you're a freaking child or teenager. If someone stalks you, go to the freaking police rather than hesitate because you feel attached to something "grand". If you're going to sleep with your stalker, and let your rapist get away with everything, you are just neurotic.

[@Cardsmaster]

You need to read between the lines. It’s NOT as simple as that.

[@Chiara_Elena]

This psychological aspect of the story is exactly what makes it so interesting. Is it really THAT unusual to witness people with self-destructing tendencies? How many people are experiencing similar stuff? It gives you a new perspective on those who fall into the same bad patterns again and again, even though the "solution" seems so easy.

[@camerontaylor9894]

So treat low self esteem by indulging in the delusion of religion?

[@miguelrosado6348]

So you are into victim shaming?

[@shainebudgeon5343]

People saying they are happy for this man he lead that woman on then got her sent down and still won’t give her name out he’s in love with that attraction still and who takes a bumming just to get a career that’s just an excuse u went back couple off times this guys a bad weirdo and I feel sorry for Martha

[@FanaPants]

Your totally wrong.

[@narutolover2899]

she was a repeat offending stalker...

[@ElevateYourExistence8979]

She also didn't get sent down. Police couldn't do anything

[@shainebudgeon5343]

@@ElevateYourExistence8979 she did though what were u watching

[@ElevateYourExistence8979]

@shainebudgeon5343 if you look at his response. He says there wasn't much the police could do. Hence why nothing can be found on the law pages 👌
