Baby Reindeer | Official Trailer | Netflix
/ @netflix
When a struggling comedian shows one act of kindness to a vulnerable woman, it sparks a suffocating obsession which threatens to wreck both their lives.
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.
It’s very brutal… story told very well, wasn’t expecting it to take the turn that it did. Thought provoking on many levels.
is it gruesome?
@@allisonhill3233No. However, one episode has a warning about sexual assault at the beginning.
Me too!
Thank you!
The woman that plays Martha is a really good actress.
She is so good that I hated her with all my heart 😂😂
@@politicallyincorrect2564but she suffered from mental illness… is it right to hate her is the question of the hour. Gadd is beyond. What a story.
I agree
They were both incredible actors!!
and a fatty too 🤣🤣
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 .
And it was a stage show too
KZhead vid ?
@@lukewheatley3070 yeah in the show he mentions that he made a youtube vid confessing what had happened to him, its the first time he told his story. idk if that part was true or not but i wonder where the vid is now
@@FIREGOD333 has no one found it ?
The KZhead vid mentioned in the show is fictional. It was used as a way to portray the experience he had performing his stage show, Monkey See Monkey Do.
"FROM THE MAKERS OF THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD" Say no more.
that part sold it for me too 😂😂😂
My cousin, he's the guy who made this!!!
Just tell your cousin, he’s truly exceptional. Hats off for his venture
@@wowjaihere will do. Matthew Jarvis. Clerkenwell Films 👍🏽
No way I missed that part. I agree though it looks so well done
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!
It was weird to watch
It’s pretty intense
Everything that happened to him was his fault.
@@yzwme586if that's what you took from this, you might as well opt out now bro it's only downhill from here ✌🏾
@yzwme586 aren't you a delight
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.
Same!!
True 💯
Yeah let's not go that far
Amazing show and the fact the actor is acting his own true recount of his stalking story is incredible. It must’ve been hard.
Damn I knew that comedy show scene felt too real 😢
Even the rape part?
You do realise 98% won't have happened
Wrong!!!!!!@@John-lp5xh
@@John-lp5xh read his story. It did happen
Watched it and I can’t sleep now. It’s so disturbingly good. Do your self a favour and watch it now
Same😮 !!
watched 1 hour and decided not to be one of the Binge Morons . A production i'd forget in 3 months is simply not worth it
@@olavwilhelm6843how brave of you
@@fieryhellkitten i see what you did there
@@olavwilhelm6843binge moron? You’re so edgy and unique
If Richard & Co don’t win multiple awards for this I’ll lose my mind.
fleabag did! so this should definitely too!
I honestly wouldn't worry about awards, this has been massively received by fans, awards can be very difficult at times
just started out of curiousity, then at some point couldn't stop myself from clicking "next EP" button till the end
Sameeee
same, its so good
I saw this when it was a one-man show at the Edinburgh Festival. It was incredible. Richard Gadd is a rare, brave talent.
Nice! Thats a pretty cool claim to fame, that's almost like seeing a band before they made it big.
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 !
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.
Your never alone when youve got a stalker 😳
Don't waste your time, there is no baby reindeer in the trailer
Thank you so much 😂
Thanks bro
Lol
Thanks!
Lmao thank you
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.
I didn’t sleep last night, i finished the entire show, great acting, what a stoory!
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.
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 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.
To become the obsession of a disturbed individual is extremely frustrating and potentially dangerous. And it often starts from an act of human kindness.
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
But he wasn’t reaching out either, to have better friends better communication as he was drowning in his own self hatred
@@CJ-ft9yohe was also a SA victim, who was groomed, manipulated and stalked. He was constantly made fun of everyday. He stopped having intercourse with his girlfriend and was anxious about it with his new girlfriend, yet they never asked him about it.
The police didn’t brush him off, he wasn’t honest with them
@@kirabanahe was dishonest with a lot of people. Idk if it was insecurities or trying to protect others but if he'd been brutally honest from the start he could have avoided at least some of what he went through. Definitely not blaming the victim just I guess everything seems clearer for spectators.
@@pakde8002i agree!!
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.
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.
right? i just watched it now, absolutely stunning. didn't know this was a fringe production. masterpiece of a miniseries. first i was annoyed of his weakness, never speak out and not walk away from the disaster and I keep asking myself why? then episode 6 came with his monologue and all made perfectly sense. that hit me hard. so good!
It is autobiography of richard gadd.
Wuss
@@JShady7620he was groomed, SAed and stalked.. the actor is the person it actually happened to. How are they a wuss?
This was far better than the trailer, one you can binge easily.
Most annoying guy i have ever seen, iq -100
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.
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.
Yeah but not just that, be honest about it. Obviously a lot of details of the story are different from the real life situation, but it’s Richard Gadds unflinching honesty in how he felt about the situation. How he saw himself as a guilty victim, how he felt about dating a trans woman, how honestly he talks about being obsessed with being stalked.
@@danculbert6349 couldn't agree more
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!
Aren't you worried people will pay attention and rob your house? You are now 😂
@@Mac-qi5nzwhat? That's a weird thing to say.
@@orphanoforbit7588 it's called a "joke" snowflake (for future reference, the winking face is a clue)
@@Mac-qi5nz Anyone lacking enough to try this would lose their bearings because "the furniture changed" 😂
@@ceedee873 😂
It was soooo good, too good to be honest, binged the whole thing in 3 hours !!!
Same!!
But it's a 4 hour series. 😂😂
@1977Suspiria when it's too good you forget the time lol
On a side note..we want more Mindhunter!!! 😊
ITA. Netflix, give them the budget they asked for. It’s worth it
Gawd, yessss, please!
You ever see the movie Mind Hunter? Came out before the show, it's not related but it's a Good movie.
@@dariangregory6182 I have. The OG Hannibal
Yeeeesssss
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!!! 😂😂😂
And sadly the main actor is the one who lived the real story, can’t imagine what it was like to relive it
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! 🙂
Same here! Just finished it.. but i keep thinking about..Martha
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
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!
Quite the lifespan
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.
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 mean theres a lot of horror romance stuff such as The Fly, Let the Right One In, the Coppola Dracula movie
You should write reviews full time. This was so well put
Idk, the show You as well as stuff like Killing Stalking have done this type of thing before. However, we hardly get shows from the victim’s perspective, and especially not a male victim of stalking. This show was brilliant and an important piece of media that needed to be made
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. 🙏🏻
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.
just binged it in one night and omg simply beautiful
the ending of this is so emotional
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.
And the PS I still love ya that'll never change text after she went all the way off 😂😂😂😂
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 🎢🎢🎢🎢
Seeing him crying in front of the mirror broke my heart it made me cry so much … I felt his pain ❤️
Saw this on Netflix last night. Watched the entire series in one sitting. Excellent!!!!
La serie más hermosa de este año ♥️🤧
💯 I f*** love it
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.
This show is sooooo crazy!!! The lead actor and actress bodied these roles!
This is a tv drama masterpiece, a rare glimpse into the human condition that we all need on some level
DON'T WATCH THE TRAILER, JUST WATCH IT. A true masterpiece. Incredibile.
@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!!!
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.
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.
Damn. I binge watched the whole series in a single day and I was completely mindf***ed and slightly disturbed 😅 for a while.
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
The Great thing happened in the end was Donny understood Martha's feel We Really want see Martha's past
Binged watched today! I am speechless.
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.
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
Same. I had to stop watching for ten minutes just to openly weep. Really got to me
Binge watched it, what a brilliant, twisted and layered show! 10/10
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
Was only gonna watch 1 episode. Ended up with all the episodes. Binge worthy series!
THIS SHOW IS AN ABSOLUTE 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.
one of the episodes had me 😭my heart out
Worth the watch. I finished it in a day. Wonderful performances by Jessica Gunning & Richard Gadd. 🎉 Love Jessica's acting.
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.
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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just finished watching, excellent script and acting, highly recommended!
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.
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
Omg !! This is a masterpiece!!! You have to see it ❤ I wanna rewatch it cause it is amazing
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 ❤
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.
Brave beyond words.
Beyond Great ...Every Human should see this...and for different reasons...
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).
Wow wow wow. I am amazed, the humor, the characters, the twists. Bravo 👏
Knowing it's based on the real life of the show's creator/lead actor is actually insane.
Proud of you Richard and all you’ve achieved. The hard work has paid off 👍 😊
Dark, gritty, full of suspense. Enjoyed every episode.
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!
This looks weirdly interesting
😂
It’s worth watching
I must say Jessica Gunning who played "Martha" did pretty good job!!
i just already finished it, and it was one of the best netfix series ive ever watch
Of the best series by far. No words.
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!!!
Fantastic, couldnt stop once I started.
Just watched it in a full sitting. Sensational acting, amazing script. Very dark, also the trauma bond that developed throughout it was so sad, the part when she described why she called him little reindeer as well given him more of an explanation to why she acted the way she acted. Just goes to show about the meaning of that phrase: "hurt people hurt"
Exactly.
Fantastic series. The acting was phenomenal. I hope this wins an award.
I think this will be the next fleabag! Not as funny and much darker but hell this is a gem! Absolutely brilliant! It's true art when a comedy can deal with dark topics like grooming, stalking, rape self sabotage and self hatred so geniously that it touches you deeply and entertains you at the same time without getting cringe or uncomfortable. The balance between comedy and dark twisted drama is so well crafted here its like a good therapy session that opens your eyes! the monologue in episode 6 with him on stage hit me! " I loved hating myself more than loving anyone else" damn. This is profound wisdom. Maybe the solution of my problem I had for decades. I'm flabbergasted!
