Baby reindeer was brutal, triggering, uncomfortable, honest and beautiful. One of the best portrayals of someone with sexual trauma I've ever seen on TV.

Finished watching Netflix's BABY REINDEER in one go.
This show.
Not to trivialize it This "show" is actually seven episodes of an artist who flays himself open to examine the very real, extremely harrowing trauma of his past. Based on the award winning one-man play of the same name,
BABY REINDEER presents actor/comedian Richard Gadd's stalking journey to television. Playing a version of himself, Gadd stars as struggling comic by night/bartender by day Donny Dunn who becomes an object of obsession by customer Martha (Jessica Gunning) after her performs a kind gesture for her.
People are comparing it to HBO's Michaela Coel created I MAY DESTROY YOU, but to me the only similarity is that both shows - both created from the personal experiences of their creators - branch off into more than what the initial subject seems to be. BABY REINDEER deeply explores trauma and the guilt/shame/self-recrimination and overall destruction it can cause.
It's gut-wrenching, but a vital piece of work.

242 - Pride
This week’s episode is one we have promised for some time: 2014′s Pride. The film tells the true story of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, a queer activist group that partnered with a Welsh town in the 1980s during the mining strike under Thatcher’s rule. Following the lives of both the straight townsfolk and the queer Londoners, the film paints a portrait of queerness, allyship, and activism that rings true today while also satisfying on a crowd-pleasing level. After launching at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight and winning the Queer Palm, the film launched in the fall of 2014 to some ardent critical fans, but didn’t cross the Oscar finish line.
This episode, we talk about the theatre career of director Matthew Warchus and the film’s comforts in this current tumultuous moment for queer people. We also talk about the film’s tremendous ensemble headlined by Imelda Staunton and Bill Nighy, gay infighting, and unofficial THOB mascot Men Trussler.
Topics also include the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Monica Bellucci bluntly listing director names, and the concept of Festival Regret.

me after watching every episode of “my little reindeer” on Netflix
More seriously, I salute the exceptional talent of the actors. Notably Richard Robert Steven Gadd and Jessica Gunning.
Traumas are real monsters when you keep them inside yourself...
Thanks for playing with my brain.

Baby Reindeer. The Edinburgh Fringe smashes it on Netflix. All Hail Summerhall!
Baby Reindeer has been receiving some great reviews, and I am going to add to that body of opinion.
It was written by, and stars, Richard Gadd but with a supreme supporting performance by Jessica Gunning as Gadd’s stalker Martha. In the stage shows, which provided the inspiration for this 7 part Netflix series, Gadd makes it crystal clear that it is an autobiographical story, in the TV…
