Baby Reindeer

This show is extremely well directed. I never thought a story about a stalker would actually keep me so engaged. It's deeply unsettling and forces you to confront your biases. All the actors in the show did a wonderful job.

Man oh man is this freaking good. Richard Gadd is immensely impressive for writing and starring in this true story based on his own life, not to mention how this serves as an example of taking power back over your trauma. It's not only great for the story surrounding its development, but the final product is one of the most well-crafted shows we've gotten this year. The writing is sharp, the pacing is perfect in the way that it reveals things as you need to know them and not too soon or too late, the characters are filled to the brim with complexity and layers, and all around form an editing and production standpoint this thing rocks. It has genuinely creepy and tension-filled moments that are expertly crafted and the show keeps you so intrigued from start to finish. Gadd's performance is amazing, and Jessica Gunning is STELLAR. Might just be the best performance of the year so far?? Baby Reindeer is a show that takes the stalker idea and turns it into something so much more that that and something so unique. It has some really heavy stuff and some very hard to watch and difficult scenes, but I commend it for not backing down and highlighting real life horrors as they are and as things that we need to be aware of. A fantastic character exploration and overall just so intriguing, real, and powerful.

It's a hard watch, but great nonetheless. It covers so many topics and it goes places you don't imagine. Best watch of the year so far.

It was a riot. I watched it on two nights. When you thing they can't fall anymore, the manage to do it.

Starts slow, but stay with it. Episode 4 is such a switch in mood. You think it's "just" gonna be a story about a guy being stalked, but it goes so much deeper.

Absolutely loved this, but it was definitely harrowing to watch.

Baby Reindeer is as phenomenal as it is difficult to watch. And it raises incredibly complex questions about victimization and victim blaming.

The performances are uniformly incredible. Richard Gadd (who also wrote) gives a brave self aware performance in this story based on his real life experiences of a struggling comic’s dealings with a stalker.

Jessica Gunning’s turn is so multi-layered and brilliant. She is by turns terrifying and sympathetic, sometimes in the same scene. It’s a masterclass in acting.

Nava Mau (who is a trans woman) is pitch perfect as a trans woman Gadd’s character is truly in love with, but can’t emotionally commit to because of his baggage - past and present.

And Tom Goodman-Hill is chilling as a producer who acts like he’s helping Gadd though he is grooming him for assault.

It’s a very tough watch, and ultimately has some controversial messages. But it is strong stuff and impressively executed.

Great show. 9,5/10. I watched it 3 times in one week. Very good story.

Best show I’ve ever watched - would never recommend it to anyone in my family for fear of cracking their psyche like an egg

Going into this show, remember as a victim of sexual assault things will get hard. But it's still worth watching it
