Season 1 Review:
Gunning’s performance is a large part of what makes the show the horrifying and addictively compelling thing it is. Particularly haunting is her squeal-like laugh, which perfectly encompasses the duality of Martha’s innocence and unhinged brutality. This, coupled with Gadd’s devastating portrayal of a man both traumatized by and dependent on his abusers’ approval and attention, make for a thorny but nuanced interrogation of trauma, power, and empathy.

Season 1 Review:
Baby Reindeer is rewardingly complex, challenging our perceptions of what a victim looks like, and asking urgent questions about the support available to both mentally ill people and victims of stalking. It dwells in pockets of moral ambiguity and cuts even deeper into Gadd’s own shame and psyche than the stage original.

Season 1 Review:
“Baby Reindeer” might sometimes be a difficult, exhausting watch. Still, the unforeseen, often wounding journey is nonetheless unbelievably gripping in its confrontational exploration of all the destructive, harmful things we do in the name of self-approbation, even if it’s as simple as seeking a gratifying laugh. Gadd’s courageous, unflinching decision to reexamine the suffering of this excruciating time and ferociously interrogate it, his shame, guilt, remorse, and self-reproach, is essential and ultimately healing stuff.

Season 1 Review:
This new Netflix series phenom that viewers can’t stop talking about stars an astonishing Richard Gadd as a struggling Scottish comic who shapes his life as the victim of a stalker (a dynamite Jessica Gunning) into a twisted spellbinder that deserves serious Emmy love.

Season 1 Review:
Baby Reindeer is a nerve-wracking voyage that's hard to watch head-on. It doesn't pull any punches when it comes to heady topics like stalking, sexual abuse, and victimization, and it is an invaluable window into the experience of someone who has experienced these things in real life. .... This is one of 2024's must-watch shows, and it raises the bar for Netflix originals.

Season 1 Review:
Baby Reindeer is a very bingeable show because it’s funny while being incredibly dark, and it doesn’t take the easy way out when it comes to its characters. So, while we cringed every time Martha further wheedled her way into Donny’s life, we also wanted to know what would happen next. That’s not something we’ve said about a lot of shows lately.
