Have never binge watched anything before but Wow was this compulsive viewing. So real, so raw, so turbulent. An astounding piece of writing, acting and directing. I absolutely adored each flawed character. A triumph for all of us irritating neurodiverse occasional TV watchers. Finally a drama that rings true.

This was an intriguing look at trauma and its effects. Some scenes were very hard to watch (I’m thinking episode 4 here) and his comedy was horrible, it was so hard to sit through. It was also hard to sympathize with Donny at times because he keeps going back for more from Martha and seems to love the drama and attention. He isn’t exactly the most likable guy, kind of boring and weird. Not the most compelling main character out there. It was interesting how twisted up his sexuality was with things, but not really sure that should have been a part of this story because it didn’t really fit.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Its dark subject matter and unconventional story may deter some, but it sheds light on intense trauma, challenges the idea of a "perfect victim," and encourages sympathy for the villain.

Craig Mathieson

The Age (Australia)

A horror story couched in the recesses of comedy, it’s a painful, compelling viewing experience. The line between wanting to know what happens and wanting to back away is thin and dangerously sharp; Gadd never settles for anything less.

Rated: 4.5/5

NPR

In practice, the series repeatedly and clumsily conflates the horror of abuse with the simple fact of queer sexuality.

New Statesman

In fact, as is made beautifully clear in Baby Reindeer, the truth is that human beings are not well-oiled machines who act with clean, comprehensible logic.

Tom Beasley

The Popcorn Muncher (Substack)

This show exists entirely in moral greyness and ruthlessly puts the fragility and self-destructiveness of human beings under a white-hot spotlight.

Common Sense Media

This series balances being deeply unsettling and being darkly humorous. Baby Reindeer is foreboding and fascinating.
