Baby Reindeer | Netflix

Just finished this season and it was really hard to watch. The ending was uncomfortable.

 

Spoiler

I can't believe he went back to his rapist just to get a job :cries: especially now what he knows about his dad being molested. That was just difficult for me to watch.
 

I wish we could've also seen Teri and Donny reconcile but as friends because she would understand now.

this was... a revelation. the best Netflix original since Russian Doll and one of their best ever. Richard Gadd, as a writer and actor, has an incredible voice and I cannot commend his bravery enough.

 

Not to go into detail but this show triggered a lot of things for me and I could deeply identify with Donny. It made me emotionally confront a lot of things that I normally wouldn't and for that, this is a masterpiece alone.

Agreee! Same here. Obviously I'm joking about Martha being an icon, but I said that right before ep. 4 where the show takes a turn and digs deeper into mental health and other issues.

 

i def identify with Donny a lot as well, for me it was the part of going back to person that hurt you and obsessing over on the why's. 
 

great show!

Not the first woman coming forward talking about her work relationship with the writer. He really took his trauma and recreated it. It's fascinating.

I just finished this show this morning, and it completely grabbed me. the monologue of epi 6 brought me to tears:chick3:

 

 

and that ending... wow:biblionny:

 

without a doubt this will be a barrier to future awards  shows just like BEEF did

 

Netflix should make more series like this without so much budget ONLY QUALITY, everything was so raw, comical, REAL, desperate

 

I'm glad I saw it by chance:clap3:

This was really good :clap3: Richard and Jessica deserve lots of recognition, specially Jessica who constantly made me fluctuate between feeling angry, scared and sadness with her performance

This was so gripping. The level of vulnerability and strength for Richard Gadd to come forward with this story and reenact it is commendable, extremely raw and I think very resonating especially for a lot of young people today. Jessica's performance was OUTSTANDING as well, wow wow :clap3:

Picking up more steam in US viewership:

 

Though "Baby Reindeer" landed at No. 2 with just over half of "Fallout's" viewership total (647.4 million minutes), it actually reached a higher number of estimated viewers. With a 238-minute runtime, the British limited series reached an estimated 2.7 million viewers. 

 

https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/baby-reindeer-under-the-bridge-luminate-ratings-1235983842/

 

Up from 1.4 million viewers the previous week.  The Limited Series Emmy race feels like it'll be between this, Shogun, or Fargo.

Watching this now and I feel very uneasy watching it, which obviously I know I'm supposed to feel. This is getting so much harder to watch as victim of sexual abuse, minus the stalking, my heart goes out to him and anyone else who has been in similar situations :heart2:

 

Spoiler

That scene where Martha grabbed him and started fondling him, that triggered me so much, I was sexually assaulted by an older man in a toilet a few years ago, and he did the exact same thing that Martha did to Donny in that scene, the same position that Donny was in too, backed up against the wall, arms by his side, then I thought the same as Donny, why did I freeze, why didn't I stop it? :weeps:

Episode 4 destroyed me. I had to take a 3 day break just to keep watching this.

This is a good, new, and fresh show from netflix after so many bad shows they've been releasing since last year :jonny5:

 

Spoiler

The ending left me shocked though.

I decided to press play and finished the entire series in one day!  

 

Now this is a great show that makes you feel a swirl of different emotions for the lead characters.  Highly recommend.

I didn't really like this. The actress who played Martha was great though. 

 

I liked the final episode too. I thought the outcome of one particular scene was interesting.

Richard, Jessica and Nava gave amazing performances. 

 

Great dark comedy when it needs to be but also very dark as to be expected. I really hope Richard sweeps awards season, his breakdown onstage was the highlight of the series for me.

Honestly, poor guy. :cries: At some point, knowing this was a true story, it was devastating to watch, tbh.

possibly the first person to win acting and writing Emmys for a dramatic series.

 

it's happened several times for comedies.
