Pure

Binge watched the entire series in one sitting. This wasn't a documentary but it gave good insight to something I knew nothing about ( I thought I knew, but I didn't!). This show will make you cringe, uplift you, make you sad, surprise you and make you laugh all at the same time. The characters are really likeable and drama is all that. Definitely worth watching.

As someone who suffers with OCD with a lot of intrusive thoughts involving inappropriate sexual or violent thoughts. It is really great to see it being shown in a context which doesn't demonize or make light of the issues we face. I hope this at least gives people a glimpse into the mindset of someone who suffers daily with sometimes debilitating mental health problems. It doesn't preach nor apologise. Great lead actress and great editing. Good for those who suffer and for the uninitiated.

I watched twice. I gaved 7 stars this time. This show helped me a lot to understand why i "had/have to be a perfectinonest" or having thoughts of" did i hurt someone or was that illusional?" when i was a kid. Nobody gaved me answer. Any dr or counceller told me "You might have OCD" I have CPTSD. Bur i always questioning to myself. All flashbacks are Really flashbacks because of cptsd thing??One dt told me "What else??" But i knew i have something else. Although some scene of this show were bit unrealistic and this girl had completely different background, i started researching by myself about OCD. My life never been easy even after i cut x abusive family off from my life. I don't sugarcoat it.i don't think i can heal from super hardcore long term trouma by dr or group session whatever. But I'll stick with it. I'm not saying in sarcastic way. Everybody have different types of struggles or situations. Not everyone can't get support like this. But i appreciated it. At least I understand what's happening in my head and why clearly more. Really thanks!

Very original with fascinating characters. As different as you can get and so well constructed.

It's as good as Fleabag in a related but different context. Great acting and direction and one to be enjoyed in one sitting if you have the time.

See it and enjoy !

Let me just start by saying that I've been living with OCD since I was a child, but began having intrusive thoughts of violent and sexual nature when I was 15. They were extremely confusing, disturbing, and embarrassing. Was diagnosed a year later. I am now in my mid-20s and it's something I still have to manage daily. With all this being said, Pure does a fantastic job of portraying this mental illness and how it affects the sufferer and the people around them. When you live with this type of OCD you convince yourself that people will think of you differently if they knew the utter madness that went on in your head. It's refreshing to see a TV show that not only accurately portrays this fear (as well as all the other fears that come with it), but also does it with a mix of comedy and drama. The writers and actors pull this off without it being stereotypical. The editing and direction is also something to be admired. It's graphic at times but I think it's necessary for the depiction of Marnie's thoughts. (If nudity bothers you, reconsider watching). It honestly exceeded my expectations considering this is a very hard topic to discuss and portray with care. Glad to have found it. I hope it touches those who live with OCD and those who don't as well. If you decide to watch this show, I hope you learn one simple thing from it: don't tell people to have "positive thoughts" when you see that they're anxious/sad, lol! It's harder than you think.
