[@DSQueenie]

I worked on Baby Reindeer on the Edinburgh unit (it was only a few days) and I had no idea it was about a stalker. However as you said the show it was based on was already well known. Fun fact it was filmed in Edinburgh during a bin strike.

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

A few people saying they never google stuff. I remember a time when every single film or old tv programme would be sidelined by someone saying, who's that, what have they been in, wasn't he or she married to so and so etc. Telly was like that for all of us in the 60's and 70's even more maddening before the advent of videos you could rewind/subtitles if you missed dialogue. You can especially get mixed up with character actors that appeared in a lot of old British films. There used to be a certain pleasure in a name that had been on the tip of your tongue suddenly occurring to you. But sometimes you spent most of the film/prog agonising. Google dispels that in an instant. Absolutely I google TOTP being a bit of a music nerd. One hit wonders especially, it's surprising how many are still going, carving out a career on the chicken in a basket circuit. Shades of Les McQueen about some of them, 'It's a shit business'.

[@maxine2798]

If you ever watch a celebrity show, is googling handy to see who the people actually are?

[@nutcracker2916]

Also are they still alive or dead ? My mother was a bit morbid "he / she is dead now . When actually some were not. But couldn't instantly Google them to check? Sadly My mother is dead now .

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

Here’s where I struggle with the talk about the duty of care around “Martha.” With I May Destroy You, the perpetrator wasn’t tagging Michaela Coel hundreds of times on public social media accounts. Even if they had changed the character of Martha and didn’t use her actual messages, the real woman would have been easy to find. I mean, people haven’t figured out who Gadd’s rapist is. They have theories, but they don’t know. They did an alright job of disguising that identity, because that person isn’t all over the Internet advertising it. How could they have possibly changed it enough to disguise her, without changing the entire premise of the show?

[@BennHaze]

I mean quite easily: don't use verbatim lines of dialogue, don't make the character look very similar, don't set the show in the same location as the real person lives. It still might've been discoverable but it took the internet like one google search to find her (the curtains phrase)

[@MinisterManDan]

The Liz Truss book thing is astonishing to me as an American. Over here, conservative donors use books by conservative politicians as a way to make massive donations while skirting donation laws. Politicians or conservative judges will drop a book and then some org funded by the Kochs or the Mercers will buy hundreds of thousands of copies. I don't know if this is illegal there in the UK, but I'm guessing she thought she'd get some Koch brother purchases on that book.

I've been reading the science fiction series 'Hyperion Cantos' by Dan Simmons which, like many novels of that genre, is eerily prescient regarding the development of AI - over thirty years before its emergence in modern culture.

I have to say 'Baby Reindeer' started really well but the last couple of episodes were extremely dull. Netflix seem to specialise in tv series that start with a bang but end with a whimper. Even worse is when they have no conclusion, to tease that there may be a second season, but then there isn't. It leaves you feeling exploited.

[@BongoBaggins]

In life there is no conclusion, everything doesn't get tied up in neat little knots. Baddies don't get their comeuppance, good guys don't win, stories don't end.

[@PWMoze]

@@BongoBaggins That's true of course but a Netflix TV series isn't real life, it is a dramatised narrative. Mosts narratives end with a resolution, my point is that Netflix don't seem to care too much about that, as long as they have secured your subscription.

@@PWMozeYeah I'm no fan of Netflix, or indeed Gadd. So many stupid decisions, I started to doubt whether the story was true at all.

[@catfather420]

I didn’t feel that way about the final two episodes but I can appreciate that they weren’t as explosive. I don’t think it’s part of a wider con I think it’s just that most Netflix shows do run out of steam at the end and so did this one for you.

Richard is forgetting something about advances: You might want a good advance because that forces the publisher to commit to marketing the book. If they don't spend much money on a book, they can just leave it and hope for the best. If they put a lot of money into it, they need to make it back and that might will work to the benefit of the author as well. Of course, if we are talking about someone like Richard, they are going to market it anyway, so to him it doesn't really matter.

[@thefelicits]

I definitely think Martha needed a different profession and backstory and the joke about the curtains needed to be changed. It's possible she would have outed herself anyway judging by her current behaviour. It's really sad that she's now being exploited by the likes of Piers Morgan. She seems to be a far less sympathetic person than she was portrayed as in the series but the fact remains that she's vulnerable and unwell and if there are really reporters outside her house then it's clear that the tabloid media have learnt nothing and the legal system has made no changes to regulate their activity. She shouldn't be in the public eye. The rapist on the other hand needs to face some kind of consequences legal, professional or otherwise and it's CRAZY that people are still protecting him while the less culpable abuser is thrown to the wolves

Let’s just ban “this is a true story”, you sung the praises of Mr.Bates vs. The Post Office, but that also includes large amounts of dramatisation about things that the writers couldn’t possibly know about. I think that presenting dramas as documentaries is very risky, almost as risky as presenting a documentary as full facts.

[@sarasate89]

But Mr Bates Vs The Post Office had a disclaimer at the start of each episode that said while it was a true story, certain scenes and dialogue had been fictionalised for TV but based on extensive research. It's completely different to a single statement that says "this is a true story" as per Baby Reindeer, and doesn't even hint at anything being added or dramatised along the way.

If your like many of us these days then youtube is maybe your main source of streaming. So il suggest you realise that and pay for premium (no I don't work here), you also get a great music app every bit as good as Spotify which you can cancel as I did.

Movie about a person who gets involved with talking to this one ai and goes on a search to steal its hardware so it can only interact with them. Plot twist is it’s not an ai and they end up having to deal with the person who is actually running the persona.
