Baby Reindeer starts promisingly enough with compelling performances by the two leads. Richard Gadd, who I thought had similar characteristics in his acting and presentation with the brilliant Mackenzie Crook of Detectorists fame, really holds the attention throughout. His own self identifying story about when he was stalked by a struck-off barister is quite harrowing. I can only sympathise with the unwanted attention from what is a clear nutter. The amazing performance from this actress is superb and frightening as she forces herself into his life with a forocious intensity.
The downer for me is when he gets involved with a transgender person. Not for me is this a subject that would ever appeal. He however falls for this person and they then become a target for the stalker too.
I suppose this subject matter depends on your taste in drama but I can only recommend the splendid acting of Gadd and his stalker.
