To Catch a Stalker

“To Catch a Stalker is not a documentary that probes the root causes of this crime nor especially challenges the systemic issues around serving justice, but it effectively and empathetically captures the inordinate, long-lasting damage that stalkers cause their victims.”
Rachael Sigee, The i

“The show tipped over into melodrama when Zara McDermott spent a night at one woman’s home, waiting to see if her ex would come and lurk in the bushes outside. Whispering urgently in the darkness, Zara could have been presenting a ghost-hunting foray.”
Christopher Stevens, The Daily Mail

“It is a documentary designed to raise awareness rather than provide answers, but you do long for a little examination of context; for someone to ask whether this would be so prevalent without, say, an existing culture of male entitlement, or within a society that valued women’s lives and freedom as highly as anyone else’s.”
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian

“This was unflashy, empathetic television that showcased raw reality. There was little expert testimony, and police appearances, while well meaning and compassionate, felt slightly fleeting.”
Ben Dowell, The Times
