Baby Reindeer: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Kayleigh Donaldson TheWrap Gadd’s writing and performance are more interested in revealing to the viewer why we hurt ourselves and how vast a shadow the ordeal of trauma casts. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Baby Reindeer: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Verne Gay Newsday Fine import with not just one, but three emotional payoffs. Rated: 3.5/4 May 22, 2024 Full Review Baby Reindeer: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Peter Travers ABC News This Netflix series phenom that no one can stop talking about stars an astonishing Richard Gadd as a Scottish comic who shapes his life as the victim of a stalker (a dynamite Jessica Gunning) into a twisted spellbinder that deserves serious Emmy love. May 17, 2024 Full Review Baby Reindeer: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Hayley Croke Loud and Clear Reviews On the surface, this Netflix series seems like a crazy and wild stalker story, but in it, you will find a level of honesty, empathy and heart that will stay with you long beyond its finale. Rated: 5/5 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Baby Reindeer: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Lyra Hale Fangirlish ...while it was utterly disturbing in so many ways, it honored the fact that the human experience is complicated. Rated: B Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Baby Reindeer: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres Created, written and starring Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, this extraordinary miniseries is more uncomfortable than funny, but in its story of a personal horror it finds room for empathy and humanity.

Amir S An interesting series, but difficult to watch and sometimes it is also unpleasant to watch. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Dionisis T Absolutely phenomenal! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Luke v Just to let you know, this show gives me feelings that are hard to express, so pardon me if this review does not make a lot of sense.Baby Reindeer really exposes you to the dark side of the moon we called Earth, and really makes you realize the horrid and terrifying world we live in. It also helps you empathize with not only Richard Gadd himself but Martha, seeing as her whole life and career was ruined by mental illness.This show really was hard to watch sometimes, but otherwise actually has an important message to take throughout life. Harassment and abuse can work both ways, no matter the gender. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: OkAtuação: OkRoteiro: BomCaracterização: OkSoundtrack: Ok Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Ana M It’s a touching and amazingly done masterpiece that explores human shame and trauma from a masculine (so many times hidden) perspective.Amazing actors, pace and a truly unpredictable story that explores the contradictions of human connection. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Fiore G Entrataining and disturbing but in a good way, it encourages you to reflect and maybe see both points of view Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
