Baby Reindeer - Netflix

[DaltonJ]

I just watched this intense, disturbing new Netflix series called “Baby Reindeer.” It follows the true story of a young writer / comic named Richard Gadd who faces a stalker. The show is gripping and deals with the fear and psychological impact of being stalked, but it goes even deeper into other intense and complex issues. The performances are top-notch, and the series really keeps you hooked from start to finish. Parts are very hard to watch. Still chewing on the ending. Let me know what you think if you watch it!

At first I wasn't sure if I'd stick with it after the first two eps, as I didn't find any of the characters anyone I could root for and empathize with. But everyone told me to stick to it, and I'm glad I did. I enjoyed it very much. I thought the ending was very good.

Just wrapped it up over 2 nights of watching, liked it!

It's unusual to see a series that depicts various kinds of assault as the horrendous events they are and yet includes ways in which the victim is complicit. All of these people want something and all are willing to go to extreme lengths to try to get it. 
It kept me interested.

I'm late watching Baby Reindeer.  Just finished binging it.

Richard Gadd is very good as Donny.  He is also the creator.   Based on a true story.  Quite a study in psychological or psychiatric themes.  Very dark.

Did he break the cycle at the end?

spurred on by the resurrection of this thread, I just watched all seven episodes (0:35 each)......don't know why I missed it back in mid-2024..... 

originally an autobiographical one-man show by Scottish comedian/actor/writer Richard Gadd in 2019, the 2024 Netflix series, also starring Gadd, claims to be a true story at the beginning, but some googling around on "Richard Gadd" and "Baby Reindeer" tempers that claim and even Gadd himself has said it's only "emotionally true"......a couple or three 'fictional' primary characters in the series were quickly connected to real-life people and explanations and/or lawsuits resulted.......

lots of awards and critical praise.....it was an enjoyable watch with some tense moments and psychological intrigue.....Nava Mau as a trans woman in Richard Gadd's character's life was appealing and sharp.......
