British series “Baby Reindeer” is gaining popularity on Netflix, currently ranked at #3 on the charts and boasting a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Based on real-life experiences of creator Richard Gadd, the show follows a man dealing with a female stalker who sends him thousands of messages and shows up at his house. Gadd highlights the difference in perception between male and female stalkers, emphasizing the real threat of physical violence in such situations.
The series is a miniseries consisting of seven episodes, with most episodes running just over 30 minutes each, making it a quick watch at around 3.5-4 hours total. While the real-life stalker in Gadd’s story was ultimately sentenced to nine months in prison and a five-year restraining order, the events depicted in the show may differ from the actual case. The intense and hard-to-watch nature of the series is evident from the trailer, promising a compelling and gripping storyline for viewers to delve into.
Though “Baby Reindeer” may not be the type of show that will lead to a second season due to the nature of its story, the positive reviews and high audience scores indicate that it is worth checking out. Audiences are encouraged to reward quality content, but the dark subject matter may prevent the series from reaching the top spot on Netflix’s charts. Despite this, the series presents a unique and intriguing perspective on stalking and its impact on individuals, making it a show that is worth watching for those who enjoy tough-to-watch psychological dramas.
