With its depiction of stalking and sexual assault, brutal show Baby Reindeer is gut-punching viewers

BBC  

With its depiction of stalking and sexual assault, brutal show Baby Reindeer is gut-punching viewers Netflix Created by Scottish comic Richard Gadd, and based on the true story of his stalking ordeal, the Netflix series is an extreme form of therapy – and 2024's most harrowing TV show. Netflix Baby Reindeer begins with a lonely woman, Martha, meeting Gadd's character Donny in the pub where he bartends – so beginning her stalking of him "Clicked on this last night, not knowing anything about it," one person commented under the trailer on YouTube. Gadd has used his trauma here for the most remarkable of ends, creating four hours of heartbreaking television Martha – as Gadd names the stalker in the show, and played by Jessica Gunning – is shown as a malevolent presence as she suffocates Gadd's existence digitally and in real life; turning up to abuse him while he’s on stage, viciously attacking his date Teri and sexually assaulting him as he walks home by the canal one night. Donny – Gadd's fictionalised self in the show – shows compassion for Martha for this reason, but Netflix Jessica Gunning is remarkable as Martha, inspiring both compassion and fear However, in one of the most powerful and brutal moments of TV this year, episode four flashes back in time and reveals – with what is in effect an extended jump scare – the main reason for Donny's conflicted behaviour towards Martha: he is just as vulnerable a person as her, as he has previously been groomed and raped by a man he considered a friend.
