Baby Reindeer

Good story, not a very good story telling. I found it hard to engage with, despite knowing it's based on true events. The problem is it's constant lecturing style. There is almost no subtlety with all the social messages the series tries to deliver. Nothing is left for the audience to figure out. I can't help but wonder how this would've turned out in HBO's hands. Nevertheless, it was entertaining to watch, but not something particularly memorable for me.

Nauseatingly netflixy from the get-go, or worse; almost felt like watching a tik-tok video. Sort of like the creator and hero with his stalker, I started out with the sense that I owe this series something. I was punished with a plasticky, self-indulgent spoken-word monologue with woke dog whistles.

As someone with rather more than his share of boundaries, I find it utterly inexplicable that this guy can't manage to set one or two basic ones. By the time he finishes narrating one ill-advised decision after another, letting himself off the hook at every turn, I pretty much hated him. And his "comedy act" is just embarrassing. Yet, despite it all, it's curiously watchable, perhaps due to Jessica Gunning, who flings herself into her character, giving a high-energy, no-holds-barred performance.

A very authentic, raw and often heartbreaking story that is clearly very personal for all involved, especially Richard Gadd, who created the series based on his own personal experiences. What starts out as maybe a creepy thriller about an unhinged stalker becomes one of the most intimate and crushing portrayals of coping with abuse and trauma that I've ever seen. I don't understand the other reviews here who call this lecture-y, I found it absolutely the opposite - real people struggling.

Deeply unsettling, but on the whole painfully honest and open treatment of abuse and mental health issues and the agonising pain they cause as they rebound between people.

Extremely raw and powerful.

What a genuinely powerful man. To be able to turn all that trauma and pain into art is such a phenomenal thing. Really shows how important creativity is. And then on top of that, to mash that into a dark comedy is fucking nuts. I know that seemingly innocent people are being sent death threats because of this show which really sucks but that to me, isn’t the shows fault. There are gonna be mad people who react to art differently. That’s part of the dynamic but Richard Gadd isn’t directly to b... - Full Review
