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.

The woman that plays Martha is a really good actress.

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 .

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

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!

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.

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

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

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 !

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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!!! 😂😂😂

I watched it last night without watching the trailer, it’s very captivating, emotional, dramatic and dark. I recommend it! It’s one of those series that gets stuck on your head! 🙂

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!

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

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

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.

This show is just insanely good

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!

Martha should get an oscar

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

It was very good. The way he seemed so meek and vulnerable, the fact that he kept trying but just couldn't get that start he wanted and how sad that made him, the struggles, the pressures he faced, the horrible attacks and how all he wanted to do was do what he enjoyed and go about his life...It absolutely broke my heart. I almost cried so many times. He played the role so well. It makes you feel his pain right in your own heart. I heard this is based on Richard's own experiences. I am so sorry, Richard. I hope you've found some peace and you are happy. Great work.

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.

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.

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.

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

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. 🙏🏻

just binged it in one night and omg simply beautiful

the ending of this is so emotional

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.

Looks delightfully unsettling!

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.

We need more series like this one! Excellent!

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.

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

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 🎢🎢🎢🎢

La serie más hermosa de este año ♥️🤧

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!

A brutal yet compelling tale, which was marvellously acted and psychologically provoking from start to end. Kudos to all involved for bringing often taboo subjects to the mainstream in such a way. I am sure that many survivors of abuse will identify with the characters and behaviours shown as it cleverly demonstrates how complex it can be. Upsetting and triggering scenes, I won’t forget this one in a hurry.

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

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

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

Ooh please i hate the fact that he make this happen to him, so many times he could have stopped her but he chose to let her do whatever she wanted. He's just crazy as she is

@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!!!

Such a great show demonstrating how complex situations like these can be. I’ve not been stalked, but I did once have a guy who was very clearly obsessed with me and it’s hard to just tell them to f*ck off. They just keep popping up and you like the attention. But over time it starts to get a bit exhausting. When they make sexual remarks you say something like, “less of that you.” They apologise, then two days later it starts again.

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

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

Binged watched today! I am speechless.

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

The Great thing happened in the end was Donny understood Martha's feel We Really want see Martha's past

Damn. I binge watched the whole series in a single day and I was completely mindf***ed and slightly disturbed 😅 for a while.

Initially, I tuned in with the expectation of encountering a run-of-the-mill dark comedy, as suggested by the trailer. However, it swiftly evolved into a masterful display of disturbingly beautiful storytelling, evoking a myriad of complex emotions within my psyche. I found myself pleasantly surprised and thoroughly impressed by the experience. Rarely do I indulge in binge-watching entire seasons in one sitting, yet this show held me captivated throughout all seven episodes.

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

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

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

Worth the watch. I finished it in a day. Wonderful performances by Jessica Gunning & Richard Gadd. 🎉 Love Jessica's acting.

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

THIS SHOW IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!

one of the episodes had me 😭my heart out

Just finished watching, excellent script and acting, highly recommended!

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.

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.

This show is creepy af and very good. I was expecting a run-of-the-mill stalker show (which I would be fine with) but this was so much more. I had no idea the turn it was going to take or the serious issues it would delve into. Super good stuff.

Omg !! This is a masterpiece!!! You have to see it ❤ I wanna rewatch it cause it is amazing

Empecé a verla una tarde tonta a las 17:00h. Por simple aburrimiento. Lo que no supuse jamás es verme envuelta con tanta fuerza. No pude apartar mis ojos ni un minuto. Toda la serie del tirón. Esto es de lo mejor que he visto en años. Absolutamente fascinante. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The actor knocked it out of the park , amazing showcase of trauma forming and it being hidden deep within later

I have just watched the whole tv series on netflix and really liked it. Episode 4 is about how grooming works. Other episodes about stalking. I recommend it if you like dark, drama and psycho tv shows. 9 out of 10 ❤

Brave beyond words.

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

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

Proud of you Richard and all you’ve achieved. The hard work has paid off 👍 😊

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.

Me too, absolutely captivating. Haven't researched but this has a distinct Wes Anderson look.

Knowing it's based on the real life of the show's creator/lead actor is actually insane.

This looks weirdly interesting

Wow wow wow. I am amazed, the humor, the characters, the twists. Bravo 👏

This was THE best thing I’ve watched in a long time. It felt so…………..raw and…messy and HUMAN. It must be terrifying to open one’s self to this level of scrutiny and potentially more creepers than ever after having lived through such (a) thing(s).

I must say Jessica Gunning who played "Martha" did pretty good job!!

I just finished watching this. I went on Netflix and picked this, based on what I read on the description. I didn’t even watched the trailer. Let me tell you, this thing is SO FKING GOOD!!! I just couldn’t stop watching it. I ended up watching the whole thing. This is proof that you don’t need big explosions, sci fi, naked people, guns or hardcore violence to be fully engaged and entertained!! It’s so intense and cringy and sad and upsetting.😂😂😂😂 And I fking loved it!!!

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!

Best drama series of this decade

Fantastic, couldnt stop once I started.
