The remarkable dark comedy biographical drama Baby Reindeer became a decent hit on Netflix. The miniseries premiered on April 11th and garnered attention from both critics and viewers. The unusual story revolves around comedian Donny Dunn (Richard Gadd), who shows kindness to a woman named Martha (Jessica Gunning).
However, Martha becomes completely obsessed with him and starts to stalk him relentlessly. Dunn begins to realize that getting rid of his stalker will not be easy.
Richard Gadd wrote the series based on his own life experiences. He himself has gone through the unpleasant experience of stalking, and the character of Donny is essentially his alter ego. The series itself is a rather unconventional genre mix.
So if you overlooked Baby Reindeer on Netflix’s lineup, or if the series didn’t seem interesting enough to you, definitely give it a chance.
