Don’t bring someone who didn’t see the show

That's what the MP is concerned about? Really? If it had been reversed would people be questioning it?

I love these clowns commenting who haven’t seen the show. Lol.

And what's that got do with what is fact or fiction? It doesn't matter if someone has watched it or not. If it goes to court, they won't watch it either.

Doesn’t that MP have constituents that need help?

Erm, he's literally representing his constituents

Ridiculous. Obviously they've changed the names, so apparently that means it's 'not true' from the get go. It IS a 'true story'. That doesn't mean word for word. She must have had SOMETHING happen to make her suddenly stop stalking him. Compulsive stalkers like her don't give up that easily.

Umm yes. I’m so sick of y’all acting like women aren’t constantly questioned and not believed

I think they did their best to disguise her identity while keeping important character traits intact. They changed her name, which is the least one can do. Her appearance, which happened to resemble hers, is important because it tries to evoke a feeling of pity and, at first glance, appears to be harmless. The character being Scottish adds familiarity and provides reasons for him to have talked with her, while her being a lawyer highlights flaws in the system regarding stalking, showing how someone familiar with the law can exploit it. The fact that both the character and she have a history of stalking emphasizes this point. One thing we can argue about is the language used, especially the sexual innuendos. While it's his story and she undeniably said those things to him, he should have known that using the exact same phrases she said could lead to her identification, making it a double-edged sword. Television shows often take creative liberties, with dramatizations and deviations from strict accuracy being commonly accepted. Whether minor details like offering tea or alcohol are altered, or significant plot points like imprisonment are fictionalized, artistic expression is prioritized over factual accuracy. Shows claiming to be based on true stories often blend fiction and interpretation to capture the essence and emotional truth rather than strict historical accuracy, and it’s unlikely Netflix would have produced the series without verifying the existence of all the emails, voice messages, etc.

At the end of the credits it says parts of the story are fictionalised or enhanced for dramatic purpose

No it absolutely does not & this is the problem. (Go right now to look if you don't believe me) Netflix state at the beginning of every single episode "this is a true story". That is why Fiona has a decent case to grab a lot of cash.

@@deib2719 That doesn't matter, Netflix didn't protect her anonymity at all, she was found right away bc they used Tweets that could be traced back to her immediately. It doesn't really even matter if Fiona's a stalker, it just matters that there are some scenes that are definitely not true (in contradiction to their disclaimer at beginning of every episode "this is a true story") & therefore she can claim that she's been defamed. It's a legal technically & I'm interested to see just how much Netflix pay her! 😆

@@Melanie_Star it says it at The End of the credits. I agree it should say this at the beginning too. I’m surprised that Netflix thought that only mentioning it at the end was enough.
