Baby Reindeer Recap: Strange, Eerie Silence


Even with Martha (mostly) gone, Donny is still plagued by all his other issues.

Speaking of that, I should note a couple of things: First, I’m honestly impressed that Donny moving in with two psychedelic-loving, dance-music heads didn’t send him into some sort of awful “shades of that night” shame spiral. However, I think as a viewer, I’m still trying to acclimate to having the grace to accept him as he is versus doing what I’d normally do watching another random drama, which is to yell stuff like “What are you doing!” at the screen. Hopefully, I’m not alone in this because (a) I’d be ashamed if I am (and I should be), and (b) because I think Baby Reindeer is trying to teach viewers to have that kind of empathy and to appreciate the gray areas in both a story line and in everyday life.
