Who is the real life Martha and where is she now? These are two of the biggest questions that might come to mind after watching Netflix’s Baby Reindeer.
Harrowing and thought-provoking in equal measure, Baby Reindeer explores real life events that couldn’t be further removed from the rather cute-sounding title. The story is one of trauma as comedian Donny Dunn’s small act of kindness to Martha Scott escalates in a way he couldn’t have imagined when she begins to stalk him. The dark drama is inspired by real-life comedian Richard Gadd’s experience of being stalked by a woman for over four years, and he is not only the show's creator but plays the role of Donny opposite Jessica Gunning’s Martha.
