Netflix’s Baby Reindeer might have seemed like it came out of nowhere for the streaming masses, but for creator and lead actor Richard Gadd, he’s been living the nightmare for several years. The story revolves around Gadd’s real-life experiences being stalked by a woman for years, and the situation was not only disturbing in and of itself but stirred up trauma from a sexual assault that he had experienced a few years prior. As you might expect, the show’s content is triggering, but it’s also peppered with dark humor. For those and other reasons (including its brilliance), the show is reminiscent of Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You that aired on HBO in 2020.
