Some viewers might be wondering if Donny’s break down on stage in Baby Reindeer episode 6 actually happened in creator Richard Gadd’s real life.
Ever since it landed on Netflix, Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer has been capturing viewers’ attention with its masterful storytelling and its powerful and sensitive themes. The seven-part series is a fictionalised depiction of the Baby Reindeer true story and tells the tale of how comedian Donny (played by Richard) was stalked after making one small gesture of kindness to Martha, all whilst he’s dealing with trauma from his past. Whilst we might not know the identity of the real life Martha, Baby Reindeer is generally faithful to what Richard went through.
