Netflix's Baby Reindeer is an adaptation of a stage monologue written and performed by Richard Gadd. Based on his personal experiences, the series tells the story of Gadd's years of stalking, which began with a brief interaction that turned into a prolonged nightmare.
Baby Reindeers strength lies in the psychological depth that Gadd brings to the screen, brilliantly drawing the viewer into the fear and anxiety he feels. The series is not just a psychological drama, but also an honest perspective on the real impact that stalking can have on a persons mental health.
With a strong narrative style and intense cinematics, the audience is invited to experience firsthand the tension that continues to increase as the story progresses. Gadd manages to present the horror of the experience without having to rely on excessive horror elements, but through a very personal and emotional approach. Each episode is carefully constructed to show how one interaction can ruin someone's life completely.
The visuals used in the series are also quite simple, but effective in highlighting the focus on the main character and her interactions with the stalker. The use of lighting and camera angles add to the sense of unease, reinforcing the tense atmosphere.

In addition, Baby Reindeer also provides a clear picture of how the legal system is sometimes inadequate in protecting victims of stalking. The series depicts the frustration that Gadd experienced when trying to get legal protection, but still feeling threatened and unsafe. This opens up a discussion about how law enforcement should be more proactive in dealing with similar cases.
Overall, Baby Reindeer is a brave and relevant work, addressing an important and often overlooked issue: stalking and its effects on victims. With powerful storytelling and deep emotions, the series manages to touch the hearts of viewers and make them reflect on the fine line between unwanted attention and the real threats that lurk in everyday life.
