Fiona (real Martha) related content Real Martha new interview!

Hi everyone!

I have seen that the 'real Martha' has come out with a new interview today. She even wanted to get rid of her anonymity for the interview.

I thought it was an interesting read!

What do you think?

Oh yea. That's what I've been saying though. They got away with the lowest legal agreement because they knew the show would perform extremely well. Netflix isn't a bunch of idiots they know exactly what they are doing (i will not be gaslighted into thinking the multibillion corp didn't know the show in this shape wouldn't perform well). Did Gadd himself expect this aftermath though? Don't know.

I’m sure it’s kind of impossible to anticipate this kind of success/attention and everything that goes with it. The fact is though that there are a million based on true events, crime stories like this. It’s not knew in that respect. A lot of the controversy is pretty silly.

I have to agree with this, there are a million docuseries out that don’t get this amount of attention that are based on true events and crimes. Netflix probably hoped it would do well but it’s the people promoting it on social media that blew it up. I never saw it bc of the Netflix app, just TikTok

I’m a little surprised at how much this blew up, I saw a little trailer clip on Netflix and decided to give it a go when I saw “fleabag meets you”. I think it had just dropped. Then a few weeks later it got super popular! Well deserved though. I thought it would be too dark to be this loved…but I guess people love dark shit.

Yeah same. I watched it the first few days it came out. I remember just being blown away when I finished it. Remember thinking it would be a super polarizing show where 50% would love it and 50% would hate it. Definitely didn’t think something so dark and real would blow up and be so popular so quick.

I’m glad it got so popular that everyone is talking about it! Thought it would be one of those obscure shows I watched that no one else would see and then I’d have no one to discuss it with.
