Obsession: Dark Desires

I don't understand how other reviews could say that these are boring or repetitive. Each story has a unique and very personal narrative, dealing with stalkers or sick individuals with different mental illnesses or issues, with crimes ranging from physical attacks to years of drawn out mental abuse. Several stories have made me cry... If you're going to watch the show and judge solely on the reenactments then maybe you should come back when (you've grown up a bit emotionally) you're willing to watch for the actual events and not beg to be entertained over another humans harrowing experience. The stories are most certainly NOT all about helpless women, though I would agree that each case shows that the laws do not protect people enough until it is far too late, that is no surprise though as laws tend to be based around punishment, not preventative measures. My favourite story so far is about the gentleman lawyer who is still being stalked 30 odd years later, it has a pleasant ending.

Saw season 2 of this show on Netflix- All stories have the same dramatic flow. A guy who is persistent and stalky and the girl who tries to get a restraining order and eventually the guy attempts murder. Don't understand the need for so many episodes with exactly or largely the same story line. Once you get the concept, it's just a difference of character and places. That's it. Literally.

Each episode really kept my attention, and I am grateful for the victims deciding to share their stories.

Not so "spoiler" spoilers: According to each episode, the cops are no help at all, and, when your stalker is plotting against you, they will be sweating profusely.

These episodes are definitely worth watching and will possibly contribute in your loss of faith in humanity, but may help you see the red flags the next time someone comes up behind you and sniffs the back of your neck.

The format is a common one, we have the victim retelling events that happened to them while actors act out the story.. The stories are very, very repetitive and as a woman , very disturbing but interesting, in particular how those around the victims are powerless to stop what's going on in most cases.

The one thing that is beyond annoying are the dodgy American accents from the British cast, why this was done like this is beyond me but it was so distracting, especially the southern accents which verged on the comical.

I really enjoyed the storytelling of this show. But, it was VERY distracting how they were pretending to be American but very clearly seemed to have Irish or UK accents in the re-enactments. The scenery was very clearly not American (electrical prongs had wrong # of holes, wrong style for Americans, very clearly UK style). The whole time I was distracted by their bad American accents that were very clearly actors pretending to be American. I wish the producers would make this in the U.S. Other than that, the real victim testimony was great and storytelling was great. Just need believable accents to not be constantly distracted by how this must be some bizarre UK actor guild producing this. Their accents are not good and took me out of the experience.
