Baby Reindeer

"Baby Reindeer" is not an easy watch but lead actor and creator Richard Gadd makes sure that we stay glued to our screens. Obsessive behavior in the form of stalking is not a new phenomenon and it is treated here with sensitivity and a touch of black humor. We want to understand what drives it and the woman who embodies that inability to let go.

Trauma is part of every story to some degree and here it is no different. Both Martha and Donny have issues they need to face and in strange ways feed off each other's weakness as odd comfort.

It's a limited series with only seven 30 minute episodes so it won't be taxing viewing if one is short on time and patience. There's even a transgender storyline with actress Nava Mau I wasn't aware of until I began watching.

So do squirm a bit but watch it all the same.
