the fact he wrote his real life experience himself and made it public for the whole world to see just incase the whole world missed the random youtube video.. i mean imagine living thru that AND THEN acting it out for a tv show???? dude is mad brave .

Don't waste your time, there is no baby reindeer in the trailer

As a people pleaser, I couldn't help but to sometimes see myself in the ways that he dealt with things. We have so much trouble setting boundaries and some people can definitely sense it.

Clicked on this last night, not knowing anything about it. Ended up watching the entire show in one sitting. I was captivated. It's brutal, unsettling and disturbing and probably one of the best shows Netflix has produced in a long time.

"FROM THE MAKERS OF THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD" Say no more.

The actress was so amazing. One minute you’re terrified of her and the next you feel moved to tears out of pity. She deserves all the awards

Just binged it. That was a dark psychological story. I feel shaken. It truely depicts attachment to the abuser and trauma. Hard to watch but must watch. Hats off Netflix for this!

I know what he means when he was saying “ that’s what abuse does to you, it makes you this sticking plaster for all of life’s weirdos, it makes you an open wound”….its totally true…when you’ve been abused you really can’t see good for bad. You actually have empathy deep down that you end up being kind to those who aren’t kind but who look weak and vulnerable on the outside and they instantly latch onto you.

Amazing show and the fact the actor is acting his own true recount of his stalking story is incredible. It must’ve been hard.

This was outstanding. Ended up completely hooked and watched the whole thing in one go. One of the best things to of ever come to netflix.

I saw this when it was a one-man show at the Edinburgh Festival. It was incredible. Richard Gadd is a rare, brave talent.

just started out of curiousity, then at some point couldn't stop myself from clicking "next EP" button till the end

This was so honest and brave. He could've glossed over times he actually sought out his abusers, but by explaining his mindset I began to understand how lack of self-esteem and compassion for a mentally vulnerable woman led to the decisions he took. My younger sister was in a similar situation with a man she met at a social anxiety group, and I used to get annoyed with her for not reporting him. I feel like this show has helped me to understand her mindset better - he was at risk of suicide and the criminal justice system doesn't always have the resources to properly support people, even if they take your testimony seriously. It also shows how difficult it is to report if you're not the 'perfect' victim (avoiding contact with the abuser/stalker), and it's those who seek out their abusers who have probably had past trauma and may be even more vulnerable.

Watched it and I can’t sleep now. It’s so disturbingly good. Do your self a favour and watch it now

Episode 4, the scene where he realised that the abuser was trying to control his mind was the exact moment I too figured it out and it was terrifying I swear I never felt such thing in a long time. What a great show! Thank you Richard for sharing your story to help thousands of people out there. You’re brave and I wish you now all the fame and success you truly deserved!

Take a Bow, Jessica Gunning ! She's natural at acting. I was terrified of what Martha would do next. It brought back some unsettling memories and uncomfortable feelings. She breathed life in that character. Wish to see more of her works !

This trailer promised a horror/thriller dramedy about stalking, and instead we got a deeply contemplative, brutal, and compelling piece about the ramifications of sexual trauma and abuse… absolutely superb, 11/10

If Richard & Co don’t win multiple awards for this I’ll lose my mind.

An example of when you write what you want to write and what you know, stop giving f**ks about genre and 'thematic thesis statements' or any other 'save the cat nonsense' and just tell a story the way it happened to you and talk about what the experience made you feel. A near-flawless mini series.

Clicked on the series not expecting anything and I ended up watching the entire series in one sitting. One of the best Netflix series I've seen this year.

I just binge watched Baby Reindeer and the series is going to help me process my personal traumas better. I can feel it. I have never felt so understood or been able to make this much sense of myself by watching something. And knowing that there are so many people that will gain as much as I did, and feel like they can relate like I can, makes me feel less alone. I am very grateful.

I didn’t sleep last night, i finished the entire show, great acting, what a stoory!

Just watched this and ... I cannot believe some of the incredibly complicated feelings he goes through as he is being stalked. The brushing off by the police, denying him the dignity a human being deserves. The friends who worsened the situation when he so badly needed to feel that he didn't deserve what was happening to him. It's just ... he so badly needed someone to empathize with and believe him, but the people he was close to turned away from him because it was easier than facing the danger of his stalker. To fully comprehend so many complex intricacies and then to be so effective in depicting those different thought processes he was going through is so immense and raw. I felt like he put words to things I'd only felt in the past but could not fully give words to. Very cathartic. Worth the watch/cry. 10/10

This was far better than the trailer, one you can binge easily.

I live on the set of the film. It's a regular street and we all had to wait for red and green lights to leave our homes whilst filming was going on. Had no idea it was coming to Netflix. I have so many pictures of them filming!

Essentially, a stalker is a person who harasses a person's life, but this series made me feel more entranced by the psychological changes of the protagonist who changes due to the stalker than by the stalker, and the psychology of the protagonist who changes again and learns about himself due to the people he meets in the process.

This is truly a cinematographic masterpiece. It has given me so many different feelings at once, very hard and visceral. The anger, the sadness, the fear and desperation feels so real through the whole journey, and really make people more aware of the trauma and pain the people that had abusive experiences are going through in life. Fascinating! The actors deserve so much recognition for this. I’m obsessed with this and it’s been such a long time that something didn’t touch me so much like this series did.

I am very grateful because Richard Gadd wrote this story and played it very well. The fact that this story comes from his personal experience, made me cry a lot while watching this series. As a viewer, of course there were several parts that annoyed me because Donny's decisions often made things difficult for him. However, as a human I understand that life is complex and does not always consist of straight lines or curves. This is one of the best series on Netflix. Jessica Gunning is very special, just looking at her eyes as Martha makes me feel nervous and anxious. Sent from my iPhone

Saw this at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 and it remains the single greatest show I've ever seen. I bought the script and have read it 4-5 times since. The audience was left speechless. It is incredible and I can't wait to watch this.

Amazing show but so emotional. Episode 4 and the last two episodes made me cry a lot. The main actor is so strong to act out his traumas. And the actress that plays Martha is so talented, she did a really good job

A rare win for netflix as of recent, honestly great series

An amazing series that literally 0:01 broke my heart 💔 I watched all episodes in one day and it gave me anguish, uneasy and so much sadness. Richard Gadd's performance is just Oscar worthy! I am truly speechless. It had been years since a series didn’t take me this much, almost autobiographical and visceral. I know what it's like to grow up with physical and psychological abuse trauma...With a sense of shame, we guys tend to never report and talk about it. But this series gave me a strength that I never imagined I had. One of the best series of 2024 hands down.

I just binge watched this whole show in one sitting!! And I can’t believe that it’s based on a true story and I’m like yelling at the TV for him to do something before it gets too crazy and it went so crazy!!! 😂😂😂

It began from a bit light, giddy, to dark, extremely twisted to going back to really dark roller coaster ride to crazy depressive whatever. I don't know what to say, it's so good but also you'll feel aghast. Like what the heck did you just watch! I thought Misery was heavy, this is another level.

This show is PHENOMINAL!! Sat down to watch one episode and watched it all. Devastating and honest. I was tottaly stunned and crying by the end.

It was soooo good, too good to be honest, binged the whole thing in 3 hours !!!

Seeing him crying in front of the mirror broke my heart it made me cry so much … I felt his pain ❤️

I can’t offer someone a cup of tea now without thinking about the show 🐸☕️

Wow a lot of triggering in this series. As someone who was sexually abused my heart hurt for this guy. He was an empath kicked around just trying to find his way and establish himself. The abuse he endured along the way was so sad. His speech to the crowd about the abuse i literally wept. Sadly this thing goes on a lot.

On a side note..we want more Mindhunter!!! 😊

I am being so serious - Baby Reindeer is one of the best TV shows I’ve watched in a long time. Incredibly powerful, moving and thought-provoking. A masterpiece.

Brilliant. The fact that he can even act all those traumatic events again is mind boggling. I have not seen anything quite like this. It’s important for people to know the different kinds of abuse too.

DON'T WATCH THE TRAILER, JUST WATCH IT. A true masterpiece. Incredibile.

This show is just insanely good

I was HOOKED!!! One of the best shows Netflix released lately..

This has some hilarious moments, like her commenting on his ex girlfriend's pic saying "she ugly." lmao The girl playing the stalker nailed this role.

Love this series....gosh. i didn't expect it to be that good. Finished it in one sitting. This is a gem.

Been amazing to see the journey this show’s been on from EdFringe Festival to Bush Theatre to the West End to NYC to Netflix. So excited to see this!

The all actors acting is amazing. It is closer to a human drama than a stalker theme, and the theatrical directing is really good. You can sympathize with all the characters thanks to the excellent scenario rather than forced persuasion. A dramatic but not dramatic masterpiece that depicts the world we live in well.

I bumped into it today by accident then I just started and I was easily hooked. Binge watched it. It was truly amazing. The actress who played Martha was incredible.

I started watching out of curiosity, but the incredible cast and the show's insightful portrayal of mental health had me glued to my seat until the very end.

Everyone one talking about Martha and how she was terrifying yet nobody is talking about Darrian who was the True Villain in this story

Watched the whole series in one sitting. It's so disturbingly good. The fact he wrote about and acted his trauma is truly incredible☑️

Series was so heartbreaking. I cried, laughed, and felt disturbed. Brutal and raw; I got reminded of personal experiences too. Definitely one of Netflix’s best.

He went through so much in life. I strated crying episode 4. Im so glad i wattched this.

This man just single handedly created a whole new genre!! horror romance !! this was truly a master piece in the psychology of our need to feel loved wanted or needed And out of that need, how we can get lost in desperation for it. Brilliant five stars we'll done Netflix. It was dark, tragic yet educational, honest and enlightening.

i love how the actress played martha, there are times you will hate her, and there are times you feel pity of her and the ending man, makes you understand what she'd been through in her childhood

A MASTERPIECE would be an understatement for this show. I have no words. It was so intense, deep, shocking and entertaining. Each episode just kept giving more and more. Binged the whole thing. The story, the production, the acting… Art at its highest.

This has blown up world wide and the IRL people have been found. Even after watching it, this keeps getting bigger.

If you want a slight glimpse at the reality of this world, I highly encourage that you take your time to watch this, but only if you dare. To Richard, thank you for taking the courage to share your story. May God be with you always. 🙏🏻

What a masterpiece it is!! Absolutely mind-blowing. The amount of all sets of emotions while bringe watching it is overwhelming. The pain, shame, self distrust, abuse not only from the stalker, the pain again... And then the scene with his family, when his father reveales his own abuse. This cracked me completely into uncontrollably sobbing. And still the glimpse of love, humor, support and strength he finds to overcome all of this to make something so unrealistically perfect out of ot. The way he still perceives his stalker and reflects his own mistakes. I was completely blown away by this series. Forgot to mention the great acting of everyone else in the series

One of the best series I've seen in years. Initially, I've avoided watching the show thinking that this must be the typical stalker thriller haunting me for the rest of the week. Still, somehow it proved to haunt me in a completely different manner and made me question how honest I am with myself. I find it amazing how trauma is translated into such a masterpiece.

I just finished the show. I think this is the first time I really felt validated in my own experiences with being groomed as a 12 year old, being stalked, and abused.

Top 5 of the best things to ever hit Netflix. Amazing!!

Looks delightfully unsettling!

Saw this on Netflix last night. Watched the entire series in one sitting. Excellent!!!!

This show is sooooo crazy!!! The lead actor and actress bodied these roles!

It has several extremes that it takes the human mind on which draws one into the suspense and intrigue of the entire movie. It doesn't end even though it does come to a close. It still haunts ones mind trying to unravel everything about it.

We need more series like this one! Excellent!

the ending of this is so emotional

This show is an absolute work of art. Every aspect of it is beautiful. One of if not the best show i've ever seen. Incredible work!

One of Netflix best ever. Acting is amazing and actress playing Martha deserves and Oscar

just binged it in one night and omg simply beautiful

Looking forward to seeing more of Richard Gadd’s work. This is a masterpiece. Best thing I’ve watched in years!!

Was only gonna watch 1 episode. Ended up with all the episodes. Binge worthy series!

Currently on episode 6, its an amazing show, and apparently based on a true story.

Dark, gritty, full of suspense. Enjoyed every episode.

i didnt know what to expect but this was very raw... he showed those dark crevasses most wouldnt dare say outloud

I planned to just check out the first 1 maybe two episodes. Ended up binging the whole damn thing in one setting. This needs to get nominated for an award!

Having watched "The interview" with "THE REAL" Martha I think the whole thing is the show and "Martha" is also an actress. A very clever piece to also include Piers the showman and a unique way of marketing. Its got us all watching and talking. Very well done.

its the way i watched 10 seconds of this trailer and was immediately sold. i usually avoid trailers since they tend to be full of spoilers. im not sure what i was expecting tbh but oh m y G O D that was pure insanity 😵😵‍💫🤯😟 now THAT right there was an emotional 🎢🎢🎢🎢

This series is so well made , from the soundtrack, to the narration , all the way to the plot build up.

I don't think I'll ever be ever to wash this series off of me. Television is meant to evoke, this one knocked it out of the park.

Binged watched today! I am speechless.

The actors are so good in this series 👏

wow, what a series, outstanding, just "from the makers of the end of the f----king world" that should be enough, after a long time, thank you Netflix and the makers, made me remember my own pain

Entertaining, sad, true, story. Watched all episodes in one go.

@Netflix We need season 2 to see Donny obsess over the new guy!!!! Also, we need season 3, where we see how Martha grew up, up to when she studied law, and what happened to make her become the way she is !!! We need them pronto!!!

This looks weirdly interesting

i had no expectations, just threw it on bc it was in the top 10 and WOW! Acting, cinematography and the way everything was portrayed was incredible. The two main characters were amazing. Esp the actress that played Martha was on the level of Kathy Bates in Misery. Deserves top shelf awards! Emmy for best actress!

This is a tv drama masterpiece, a rare glimpse into the human condition that we all need on some level

Binge watched it, what a brilliant, twisted and layered show! 10/10

He's brave to tell a very personal story of his.

I just came here to say that for someone with very little acting experience he did so well. I was in awe at one scene and I was thinking that it was a very difficult scene and I was like ok what an actor. I didn't even know at the time that this was a true story and it actually happened to him.

This series-wow, brutal You’d think just a quirky comedy w/a few dark elements: -but w/such direction & such palpable performances; an actual look through/even genuine empathy for “types” usually jst dismissed/mocked -what a hellish, tragic journey (& on *Netflix* ?) very well done

The best show I’ve seen in a very very long time.

I neverrr knew these kind of people exists , it really is a scary world , so terrifying

watched the show twice..cant get enough..we would like a martha spin off series plz..

DISTURBING, TERIFYING, STUNNING, MASTERPIECE

Beyond Great ...Every Human should see this...and for different reasons...
