This series is a very hard watch. You don't need to have experience with domestic abuse to find As You Stood By grim, however, if you do have experience with abuse of any kind, buckle up. Go to Full Review

"As You Stood By" asks the question: Is it ever OK to break the law if you’re trying to prevent someone from being harmed? It’s complicated, and the dark series doesn’t pretend otherwise. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
As You Stood By is not an easy watch and should be approached with that in mind. Desperate people take desperate actions, and the violence enacted shows why sometimes the only way out is so extreme. And As You Stood By never lets go of that extremity. Go to Full Review

As You Stood By is a slow build, but its a worthwhile story to stick with as two women take back the control they lost in the face of abuse. Go to Full Review

The very dark subject matter won’t be for everyone. For some, it will hit too close to home – in one way or the other – but that could be exactly why it’s important to watch it. Go to Full Review

Tripti G @Tiripiri Feb 19 Hard to watch due to some scenes of abuse. Such a fast paced show, I watched in one evening! I hated the guy and his family >:( See more Jennifer C @Jennthereviewer Jan 30 I give this 5 stars because the pacing of the show was great. Within the first two episodes, things move pretty fast and by episode 3 we are moving on to the next phase of their survival mode in the storyline. By episode 8 though, I was ready for the story to wrap up. Surprise twists and turns happen then again that kept me watching. It's an orginal storyline not told a million times while also raising awareness about Domestic Violence. Great acting and work. See more Alexa G. @alexurrr23 Jan 22 I think every woman should watch this at least once See more Angel C @seraphine.th Jan 9 Do you want to watch the real fairy tale story in the modern age? Well here you go. This is the show for you. It's the real one. At first, I was a bit confused on some of the scenes and how the story goes. But it helps you understand it in the middle of the series. For me, they want to show how bad a relationship can be, and how the worst of the worst can happen. You see, despite all the love you have given to one person, they show you that you cannot really do much anything about it but to keep it to yourself. However, if you just keep on putting air into a balloon, it will pop out and everything will be a mess. The show makes you feel like you wanted to get rid of one person but still hesitate. You are that woman on the show and you just want it to end. See more Esra Y @RT95409318 Nov 29 Can't believe they thought using soapy tropes like body swap in a show about d.a. See more Isabel G @RT34684022 Nov 18 Absolutely amazing one of the best series I’ve watched this year, the show gripped me, a show based on loyalty friendship and not turning away when pushed away is such a good message to send out into this world we’ve all known a family member or friend of ours being in the same position and it’s true it’s easy to blame the victim and ask why they don’t leave etc this show really gripped my heart and had me up in tears 😭 10/10 See more Read all reviews
