Baby Reindeer Finale Recap: Would You See Me As Less of a Man?


The hit Netflix series comes full circle in its finale.

The family does a big round of cleansing hugs, and Donny spends the week up north with his phone off, going on hikes and having wide-open chats about anything and everything, from Teri to Martha to his career.
