ICYMI: Baby Reindeer has been buzzing all over social and sitting on Netflix's top 10 list of most-watched TV shows as of late.
The story? Richard Gadd plays Donny, a struggling comedian trying to make a name for himself in London. A seemingly innocent encounter involving a free cup of tea quickly spirals out of control for him over the course of seven intense episodes.
Jessica Gunning plays Martha, a former lawyer with an affinity for Diet Coke who gets tangled up in Donny's life.
Other key players in the show include Nava Mau as Teri, a therapist Donny develops a liking for after meeting on a dating site. Tom Goodman-Hill plays Darrien, a TV writer who pushes Donny into a manipulative world of drugs and abuse.

Now that I’ve finished it, I just wanted to say that BABY REINDEER is without doubt one of the boldest, most courageous things I’ve ever seen. Brutally honest and empathetic. pic.twitter.com/CxkhRjbcG3

Can’t think of a less algorithmic show to become a Netflix sensation than Baby Reindeer, which keeps undercutting a lurid premise to grow more discomfitingly humane by the episode, rife with messy-real psychological folds and compulsions. Hats off to all who took a chance on it.

Baby Reindeer on Netflix is absolutely fucking horrifying in a great way. It’s a great show but it is so insanely fucked.

Baby Reindeer is the most unhinged shit I’ve watched in a long while.

#BabyReindeer was breathtaking TV but the aftermath feels like a runaway train which is making me very uneasy

I’m genuinely creeped out because she’s exactly how Martha is depicted in the show. Right down to the number of times she keeps saying “I’m a lawyer”.I’m sleepy with the light on tonight.#BabyReindeer #uncensored #PiersMorgan pic.twitter.com/BXRvG989lB

God i really feel for Richard Gadd. Having his personal trauma up for speculation and sleuthing when all he wanted was to make a show to make people realise they arent alone with their experiences. This whole situation is hideous. #BabyReindeer

Baby Reindeer should be studied in A-Level Sociology. I could go on and on about it for hours, the police, the man being the victim, the trans representation, the abuse literally everythingit’s the most amazing thing I have watched in a long time. #BabyReindeer

Words can’t explain the visceral reaction I had watching Baby Reindeer. I can never watch it again but it was a perfect piece of storytelling I’ll never be able to forget. 10/10. 5 stars. Richard Gadd has set himself apart with this one. I cannot praise it enough. #BabyReindeer pic.twitter.com/7fh7iceHmK

In Baby reindeer when Donny said “I knew she was dangerous, but she flattered me and that was enough.”Made me think of how we sometimes ignore abuse, cause it comes sandwiched between flattering & other things. Attention, lust, gifts/money. We ignore abuse till it consumes us.

Everyone is trying to figure out who Martha is in real life, when really everyone should be trying to figure out who Darrien is. #BabyReindeer pic.twitter.com/VOOmUGuUI9
