Netflix’s ‘Baby Reindeer’ Is a Brilliant and Jarring Account of Stalking, Victimization and Emotional Turmoil: TV Review


A vulnerable look at his own life, writer/comedian Richard Gadd recounts years of stalking and harassment in this Netflix dramedy.

In his seven-part Netflix miniseries, “ Baby Reindeer,” adapted from his one-man show, Scottish writer and comedian Richard Gadd recounts the true story of being harassed and stalked for years. A fledgling twenty-something comic, Donny spends his days as a bartender at a local pub and his nights shut away in a bedroom at his ex-girlfriend Keeley’s (Shalom Brune-Franklin) mom’s home. Only lightly fictionalized, Gadd illustrates Martha’s escalations through countless misspelled and jarring emails (upward of 40,000 in real life) ranging from fawning over Donny to threats and unwanted sexual innuendos.
