“We’ve had people round with guns, knives looking for him. It was like a living nightmare.” So begins journalist Sirin Kale’s six-part Guardian true-crime tale about Matthew Hardy, who spent more than a decade stalking women online. Kale talks to victims, Hardy’s ex-neighbours and those who know him, creating a gripping series that’s a vivid human portrait of those affected – and a fascinating tale of what might cause such behaviour.
