What to Watch on OTT

A Highly Rated Drama You Can’t Miss On Netflix

Baby Reindeer on Netflix is a limited series that tells the terrifying tale of a middle-aged stalker via a darkly comedic horror lens. The show centres on a man’s terrifying encounter with a stalker and is based on Richard Gadd’s one-man stage play.

Netflix’s policy prohibiting ‘antagonists’ from using their products in films and television shows is followed by the show, although the intricacy of the characters may have left Apple lawyers perplexed. After One Day and Ripley’s popularity, Baby Reindeer offers a sombre and disturbing story of a man’s suffering, laced with a sly humour that only retrospect can provide.

Scottish comedian Richard Gadd tells his story of being harassed and hounded by Martha, a middle-aged woman, in the Netflix series Baby Reindeer. Gadd, portrayed by Jessica Gunning, explores the years-long harassment he faced while attempting to establish himself as a stand-up comedian and author in London.

Following her grooming, sexual assault, and rape at the hands of her older male TV business mentor, Darrien, the stalking started. In addition to discussing his internal conflict and self-loathing, Gadd acknowledges his involvement in the event with Martha. The performance delves into topics of self-loathing in a one-man drama, sexuality, and self-loathing.
