The Baby Reindeer series is trending on Netflix. We saw it and we’ll tell you what we thought.
Baby Reindeer either Baby Reindeer is a series that explores the relationship between a stalker and her victim, not from opposite places but from a place of need. Baby Reindeer, the nickname by which the protagonist will be known Richard Gadd It will be a nickname that will make sense only at the end of the series. His nickname and the poorly written messages towards his character will lead us into a spiral in which the options seem to become obvious and scarce, for a reality that becomes suffocating at times.
Although the series touches on deep and complex topics, which go far beyond harassment, it does so from a perspective that is born very deeply and intimately, an approach that is necessary to understand what is behind each decision. Being a true story told by the protagonist, the character played by Gadd focuses on the mental path he takes before, during and after each episode as well as his constant feeling of guilt.
The protagonist builds a very human character who, through brutal honesty and statements that may seem unpopular, achieves the empathy of whoever is on the other side, and allows the viewer to feel what he himself is feeling.
His character, extremely empathetic and absorbed by the gaze of others, navigates and relates difficult topics and does so very intelligently. Throughout the series there are scenes that are really moving, so if you consider yourself an impressionable person you probably have to think twice about pressing play. In any case, if you are very interested in the psychology of the human being portrayed from a very intimate side, I must say that it is very bearable, since the story achieves an atmosphere of constant intrigue that will capture your interest until the end.
