Alice Through the Looking Glass

Baby Reindeer (2024) is a British Netflix miniseries you can watch online on iFILM. Richard Gadd wrote it from his own life and stars as Donny Dunn, a bar-room comedian who offers a free cup of tea to a down-and-out woman. That single moment of pity sets off years of chaos.

The woman is Martha, played by Jessica Gunning. She floods Donny's phone with thousands of messages, follows him everywhere, and refuses to disappear. But the show isn't only a stalking story. As it unfolds, it reveals what in Donny's past made him so unable to walk away. Nava Mau plays Teri, his trans girlfriend caught in the wreckage. Seven episodes, directed by Weronika Tofilska and Josephine Bornebusch, earned seven BAFTA Awards and multiple Emmy wins.

Gadd didn't make a victim's story. He made something stranger and harder to watch — a self-portrait of a man who can't quite face himself. Stream Baby Reindeer (2024) online on iFILM.
