**what was that?** The show has a promising start, with a hint of alleged “true story”. Some of the episodes are good. But after the episode 3-4, the protagonist makes so many foolish mistakes that I literally lost sympathy for him. He is like extremely tormented, feared, annoyed because of his stalker, and at the same time does all the brainless things e.g. follows her to her home, goes on a date with her, gives her mixed messages, and even sleeps with her. Sorry dude, you lose all my vote after this. The show also ends with a mixed message, something like the perpetrator is also a victim, and so on. Well, based on this logic every criminal has some sob story. That doesn’t justify a bad behavior by any means. The show is overall engaging but also annoying when it becomes illogical. 6/10 from me.
