With professional and emotional insecurities, the series’ protagonist ends up becoming curious about the “stalker” and, unintentionally, creates a bond that binds him to her. “He falls into the trap of the ‘swan song’, of another person who is extremely manipulative and knows how to catch him in this insecurity; praise at the point where he needs it”, explains Stivaletti.
According to the commentator, this is why Donny avoids going to the police at the beginning of the chase. “This is the great improbability of the series: it takes four episodes for him to go to the police”, he assesses. “And he explains why: ‘This woman intrigues me, attracts me. What does she see so fantastic in me that I don’t even see myself?'”.
Pata Stivaletti, both the protagonist and the “stalker” live within their own narcissism. “He can’t see how dangerous this woman is; where this could all lead, and she obviously doesn’t see this guy; she’s desperately looking for an object of her love.”
Insecure people like Donny become very easy bait for people who come with this easy compliment wanting something – and this is not a distant experience, it is something we live on a daily basis. […] It’s always important to stay cautious, because there are people who become ‘praise professionals’ Thiago Stivaletti
By dealing with a relationship with nuances of what common couples experience, says Stivaletti, the series makes us question whether we see who is in our relationships or whether we create our reality on our partners. “Freud is a bottomless hole, and if you don’t even know who you are, imagine the others”, he says.
