This show really lost its footing after the episode with the grooming. From then on Martha, the highlight of the show, was relegated to the background. In that vacuum went a bunch of TMI navel-gazing. And questions. Why isn't he reporting this new thing to the police? Why didn't his girlfriend report the assault without his permission? Etc, etc. Why is he rude to everyone?
This really does feel like a stage play, a one-man show, in that it's a shaggy dog story. I get why that's the case- - -real life doesn't always have a perfect dramatic structure. But the way the middle and end of the story was told felt anti-climactic and I wish the creator took more liberties with the story. It's not a documentary, after all.
I'm sure the majority of viewers, especially those used to the "and then, and then" storytelling style of reality shows (and modern tv in general) loved those final three boring episodes. I did really, really like the first few episodes but the creator took it down a certain psychological lane that may be novel for television but didn't make great tv.
Would like to see this guy do some dark comedy thriller material.
