Kayleigh Donaldson TheWrap Gadd’s writing and performance are more interested in revealing to the viewer why we hurt ourselves and how vast a shadow the ordeal of trauma casts. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Verne Gay Newsday Fine import with not just one, but three emotional payoffs. Rated: 3.5/4 May 22, 2024 Full Review Peter Travers ABC News This Netflix series phenom that no one can stop talking about stars an astonishing Richard Gadd as a Scottish comic who shapes his life as the victim of a stalker (a dynamite Jessica Gunning) into a twisted spellbinder that deserves serious Emmy love. May 17, 2024 Full Review Rua Fay Cinemasters I cannot possibly recommend this show enough. Richard Gadd, from the bottom of my heart thank you for being so vulnerable in your writing and creating something so vulnerable to share with the world. Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial A story based on true events that shocks, surprises, and becomes increasingly disturbing as the episodes progress thanks to its strong performances and the authenticity of the case. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post Balancing moments of dark humour with unflinching emotional depth, Baby Reindeer is a raw and haunting portrayal of vulnerability and resilience.

Bashirr H Masterpiece! Therapeutic! Vulnerable! Beautiful! Chockingly emotional! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Saugat B. A very naturalistic and captivating series. The acting and storytelling were off the charts. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Gabriel P A série é incrivelmente bem escrita. Constrói bem as relações e de que forma o abuso no passado influenciou no presente. Atuações fodas. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Mike D Original, believable, gripping. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Marsh X I was able to watch this in one sitting if I remember correctly and at a lot of times I felt very uncomfortable, the character Martha was very good at making me feel that way. Most of Donny's jokes were stupid but some of them I laughed at, the main attraction is this series' story which is actually pretty scary to put in a real life perspective, we all know it happens all the time but they executed this very well and is definitely worth a watch. 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Alec B This series is really bad, people been glazing it just because it’s “artistic” but it’s really bad Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
