Baby Reindeer (Season 1)

Baby Reindeer (2024) is a British Netflix drama you can watch online on iFILM. Struggling comedian Donny pours a free cup of tea for a tearful stranger at the bar where he works, and that one small kindness sets off a fixation that hollows out them both.

The woman is Martha. A couple of messages become hundreds a day, then waiting outside his job, then showing up at his door. But the show isn't a simple victim-versus-stalker chase. Donny keeps going back for Martha's attention, dragging up a buried trauma of his own, until the story turns into a confession about shame, codependency and the pull toward people who hurt us. Richard Gadd plays Donny and wrote the scripts from his own life; Jessica Gunning is Martha, and Nava Mau plays Teri.

Seven episodes, one season, the whole story told. Gadd adapted it from his autobiographical one-man stage show, and it went on to take several Emmys, including wins for him and Gunning. It's raw and unsparing, with assault among its themes — not casual background viewing. For anyone ready for an uncomfortable truth with no clean heroes or villains.
