In actual life, Gadd was relentlessly stalked by a girl who would present up at his comedy reveals and harass him on-line, sending the comedian items and a complete of 41,071 emails, 350 hours of voicemails, 744 tweets, 46 Fb messages, and 106 pages of letters.
“Stalking on television tends to be very sexed up. It has a mystique. It’s somebody in a dark alley way. It’s somebody who’s really sexy, who’s very normal, but then they go strange bit by bit,” Gadd said in an interview with Netflix's Tudum. “But stalking is a mental illness. I really wanted to show the layers of stalking with a human quality I hadn’t seen on television before. It’s a stalker story turned on its head. It takes a trope and turns it on its head.”
Nevertheless, Martha is not the one individual within the present that the web is hell-bent on figuring out. Within the collection, Donny is the sufferer of sexual assault by the hands of his mentor Darrien (Tom Goodman-Hill), a profitable TV comedy author who plies Donny with medication and rapes him repeatedly, preserving the youthful author round by promising to kickstart his profession.
“What abuse does is it creates psychological damage as well as physical damage… Abuse leaves an imprint. Especially abuse like this where it’s repeated with promises,” Gadd advised British GQ “There’s a pattern where a lot of people who have been abused feel like they need their abusers. I don’t think it was a cynical ending, it was showing an element of abuse that hadn’t been seen on television before, which is, unfortunately, the deeply entrenched, negative, psychological effects of attachment you can sometimes have with your abuser.”
Now, followers of the collection are attempting to suss out the identities of each characters. However that, Gadd insists, misses the purpose of the present. In reality, he advised British GQ that he went by way of “great lengths” to disguise the true Martha's id “to the point that I don’t think she would recognize herself.” He added, “What’s been borrowed is an emotional truth, not a fact-by-fact profile of someone.”
