Created by and starring Richard Gadd, the seven-episode series follows a fictionalized version of the Scottish comedian, named Donny Dunn, during a harrowing time in his life. One day, a crying woman named Martha enters the pub where Donny works, and he offers her a tea on the house. His life is quickly turned upside down as Martha becomes obsessed with him, going on to stalk and threaten Donny and his loved ones.
Later, as Donny's walking down the street, with a haze of sunshine symbolizing his happy mood, Martha calls, and Donny's smile instantly drops. Though some of the emails include threats, Donny begins holding off on reporting Martha again,"out of fascination or empathy or guilt. Any excuse, really, to keep her in life." Still, Martha always goes too far, and she eventually threatens his family again in a truly terrifying rant that she ends with"maybe one day I will stab someone.
Martha's earliest childhood memory was her happy as a child at Christmas, sitting with her favorite toy that never left her side. She says it was"the only good thing about childhood," and it comforted her as"they" fought, all the time. Martha adds that Donny looks the same as that reindeer, and both it and he mean so much to her. Donny breaks down in tears as the voicemail ends, and right then the bartender delivers his drink.
