The Chilling True Story Behind Baby Reindeer 

Do you think this one one of the greatest British shows of all time? Does it deserve a place on this list?: Top 20 British TV Series of All Time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QE7hfE3uJkE.html

The women who played Martha is a really good actress

Can’t believe he not only helped write the show, but he acted out his drama and relived so many parts of it. Amazing and powerful performance. Something this traumatic is almost unimaginable and he decided to make a show and act in it himself!

A close friend was the victim of physical and mental abuse by an ex who became a stalker. He racked up a number of victims over a few short years and only got locked up when he was caught for child s. offences. He's back out now and still threatening harm to all of his prior victims. The law needs to toughen up. If he had been banged up sooner he wouldn't have had the opportunity he had to possibly ruin a young childs life.

As someone who has dealt with some similar issues as he did, I was beyond impressed with this whole production. I can’t imagine how proud he must feel to be able to be this brave and help others

My partner has been stalked by a guy since she was 14 for over 15 yrs he has tried to reach out and has even been put to jail on 18 counts of different charges but yet still walks free today I worry about her safety everyday because he makes new accounts calls from different numbers there not alot the police will do and that is the scariest part of it all ..please anyone who is going through something similar protect yourself take self defense,carry a weapon anything to insure you are safe the world is crazy now days

i was a victim of stalking and harrassment by my wicked neighbour, like in the uk i didnt receive much help when i went to court. one of the lawyers even asked me if the neighbour was insane. ! they were there . at work, at a course i went to , church, visiting family. once even tried to run me off the road when i left for work. in my country one has to have lots of evidence. recorded, videos etc. who goes out everyday with a camera to record? nowadays i fight back anyway i can. its said, fight every evil. thats what i do. i know what Gadd went through partly . his is worse!

I literally just watched this today, after procrastinating for weeks. Wow!!!!!! What a story. 😮😮

She'd be perfect playing Susan Doyle.

41,000 email is insane….😮 damn

Chilling series

A national register is a good idea. I had a stalker. Went to court to give evidence against him. Found out I was witness/victim number 29….. who knows how many were after me.

Entire shift??😂😂

I made it through episode 3 and quit.

I want to know who that writer/ r4pist is.

nothing new, no fact checking the "true story", just a regurgitated long form trailer synopsis. Thumbs down.

Donny Done is based on Danny Dyer? Lol it's a joke

Didn't get out bed entire Saturday.... excellent movie❤

I’m amazed that the victim played himself in this series. He is very brave and self aware. He admitted to liking Martha’s attention and kept going back to his abuser’s home.. I thought he was going to unalive him that last visit. A complicated story, he was searching to find himself and somehow was a glutton for toxic, abusive relationships. Very interesting series. Humans are a trip

I watched "Baby Reindeer" last week on Netflix and it was an eye-opener. How Richard Gad was able to hold up under the torment and stalking by Martha is beyond me. He is obviously a very talented and resilient man. I found this comedy-drama deeply disturbing and was extremely thankful that Martha did not kill him as she was capable of anything. "Baby Reindeer" is a must-see.

I went in completely blind; my goodness. It’s a difficult, disturbing watch but amazing.

A stalkers' registry actually sounds like a good idea. If anything, it'll help raise awareness

This series broke my heart, it's so deep. The acting was phenomenal too, just WOW

I’m so glad that this addressed the mental illness aspect. Martha is a victim of a failing system and I’m glad Richard recognizes this while also recognizing he was a victim too. They were both failed. I hope they’re both healing well.

Police unfortunately don't do much about anything anymore.

I imagine producing this helped him to feel "in control" of the trauma. I've been stalked, and especially if you're a guy, it feels surreal/unreal. Especially if the perp is a beautiful woman--every guy you tell is envious. Only women are like "nah, she's a monster"

A masterpiece on many levels. A very moving series, very well played. A man searching for who he is and eventually finding himself and subsequently understanding others and their mental issues. Very deep.

Reminds me of the abuse my Mom suffered from my Dad he is a domestic abuser, he stalked her, took her phone 📱away, stripped her topless for no reason in front of me and my little brother, attacked for no reason nearly every day and made up lies about her, myself and my little brother (he regularly tell random people, family members and friends that my brother was gay when he was 13 or 14 despite the fact that he had a girlfriend later on.) he took away my Mom letters, would not let her speak to her own family but yet he allowed himself to speaks her family. At one point my Mom did call 📞 the police on him but they did nothing, although we finally left him a decade later because I told my Mom I didn’t want stay with him anymore after I heard him attack her for no reason again at the middle of the night after she came back from work. When I say all these things about him to people and therapist when his present he would say why I’m I against him to the therapist and I’m like “ You’re the one who was against us, and you act like that most of times.” Living with Dad was like walking 🚶‍♀️ on eggshells everyday. Sure domestic violence and stalking law have change since then but I still believe the police wouldn’t do anything about it.

I had a stalker once, an ex-boyfriend, he was such a good liar that when I called the police to have him removed from my yard,, he actually persuaded them that I was the liar and they brought him back.

watcheeng fron iPhon

This show was really something. I was really taken aback but couldn't stop watching. Wow

Everyone is talking about Martha but the man that validated him/ used his desire for success against him!!! People like that are just horrible This story is wild. Sucks that’s it’s TRUE:(((((

It was an utterly compelling drama- the fact that it is based on an actual stalking is chilling. The acting and script are stunningly good, it was really interesting how he depicted the victim of the stalker as also somehow being somewhat addicted to the attention he got, until, of course, things turned very dark. Essentially, it's a drama about what can happen when mental health fail in both victim and perpetrator and how weak the law is in preventing this.

I have so much respect for Richard, playing himself considering what he went through was more than brave. It was traumatising to watch _those scenes_ much less go through them and then play them again for the series.

the most original series in a long time

Police can never help in this country,they really need to step it up

How crazy I literally just finished the series and look it up on RU-vid and watch mojo came out with this video 4 hours ago, great timing, and great series!

This show did a fantastic job of showing how some victims respond to abuse, how the shame controls and takes over your life. You’ll do almost anything to forget, to not accept and face what happened. You think if other people know the truth they’ll think less of you because that’s how you see yourself, especially when you’re groomed by someone. I really related to Donny because I understand his trauma. I’m a SA survivor and I was also groomed at thirteen by someone older who had more power than I did. It took me many years to talk about it, even when I knew what happened to me was wrong I still felt I wasn’t allowed to say it out loud. My shame and embarrassment controlled me and I allowed myself to be treated in ways I didn’t deserve because of it. It took over twenty years, having a daughter and a wonderful mother in law who recognized that I needed help before I actually got help and started allowing myself to say out loud what happened to me. Even after everything I know now I still struggle and live with extreme anxiety and PTSD. I still feel shame when I talk about what happened to me, but I now know it’s the pain and trauma making me feel that. I know I don’t deserve it and I didn’t deserve what happened to me. This show really does an amazing job of showing self loathing and how you can get trapped in a cycle of abuse and trauma. I think so many people have this idealistic imagine of what a victim is, who they are and how they’ll react. This series showed some very uncomfortable things, it was brutal and honest. Hopefully, it will help people understand mental health and victims a bit more. I hope it opens up many more conversations and gives others the strength to confront their truths.

4:57 "We've gone to such great lengths to disguise her, to the point that I don't think she'd recognise herself". Yeah, if she sees the show I'm sure she'll assume it's based on someone else stalking the exact same guy she stalked, in the exact same circumstances!

Tiktok has already found the woman and posted the Facebook page and her public tweets to Gadd

I liked it. It had a lot of funny parts but had some really implausible parts I found too hard to swallow. Like when Donny is at the police station reporting Martha but fails to mention she has a criminal record a mile long and served prison time for stalking but decides not to mention it to police and then wonders and complains why the cops are not doing anything. It was a good series if you can ignore the fact that a lot of what happens is implausible and outrageous. I guess maybe the underlying point is he is a glutton for punishment and secretly enjoys being abused by Martha but then why go to police in the first place?

I have a few questions from a logistical perspective. How did this lawyer turned stalker survive? Where was she getting her money from? I mean she was living alone in a house, stalking him everywhere which meant taking public transport, buying stuff (presumably by getting people to buy them for her so got that) But she looked pretty healthy so I am genuinely curious.

I had to turn it off and resume after I’d gotten some sleep, because Martha is downright disturbed and it had me on edge. I didn’t know it was a true story. Awesome performances from these 2 actors. It’s nice to see a man highlight their trauma. He tried sweeping it under the rug himself and just deal with it. No one should have to live like this.

Biggest pile of nonsense I ever seen. The actress who played the stalker redeemed it

They found the real “martha” 3 days after the show aired, his “great efforts to disguise her” failed spectacularly XD

Their law enforcement sucks so bad. I can't imagine people being so incompetent back home!

Not really a “the story behind video” and more of a general recap of the show

One of the best shows I've ever seen

This guy is pretty brave basicaly admitting to all the wrong things he did. Even things that some people would view him very different for now that we all know

This isn’t the “true story” behind the show this is just a recap

PSA - there is absolutely no point to watching this video unless your intent is to ruin the series for yourself.

I watched 1 1/2 episodes of this show and couldn’t watch anymore because “Richard Gad” was just too creepy. The show didn’t explicitly say it but he was far into addiction to opioids during this whole time. I get the feeling this whole thing is too “sanitized”. Martha was definitely crazy off the charts but I didn’t get the fact that he kept going to be with her? Too stupid for my taste….I suspect money or something else was exchanging hands. Not going to finish it.

I think the show really worked because he was willing to examine his own behavior in the whole thing. (Of course he’s not to blame for the abuse from Martha and Darrien whatsoever but he explored his bad decisions when it came to his reaction to the stalking as well as his relationships)

I haven't stopped thinking about this show since I finished it. Superb acting and storytelling. Simply amazing ❤❤❤❤

If someone decided to stalk me, they’d have a very boring time following me around the supermarket, and once a week putting the dustbins out.

The psychotic people has the ability to going deep through into their victim personal life. Some of them use this ability and choose to kill their victim out of personal pleasure and some of them just let their victim experience the horror feeling of being "chained" by them. Martha is the latter type and he should be grateful because she almost going into first type.

Let's move on to the rapist in the show.....if it's all true let's work out who the rapist is?

All thanks to the social media apps 😂 Sent frm y iPhone

I was stalked by a classmate. The useless teachers at the school did jack all!

Brilliant show

I wouldn't mind if i had a stalker as long as she was pretty and spoke to me

Thanks for clearing up my confusion of what this habit is about, you were very in order and explained it clearly!

I didn’t know what grooming was until I watch this I’m experiencing this now not many to talk about this as a male…yup dating women is hard on me I’m embarrassed I’m messed up probably won’t have help here either

The police didnt fail. Donny failed to report any of the assults on the women he claimed to have loved. He wanted to drag this on clearly.

This was nuts. We just finished it. Chilling stuff.

She was a lunatic and he was a Fool that's it😮 Not worth watching😮

lol I didn’t catch she didn’t have a iPhone… I was just doing my best to keep up with the emails before they disappeared

So basically you didnt tell us shit? Click bait

Scary stuff

This serie is really, really great, wow! They are super actors. I love how complicated this story is and that Martha is indeed loveable

I watched this not having any idea what this series was about, I binged watched it nonstop! Richard did a beautiful job writing and acting his story out! I can't imagine him reliving his trauma and the stress of all this, the whole cast did a beautiful job! I hope the cast and series win many awards because it was imperfectly imperfeck!

1. This was a great series. 2. He could be a fantasist. "This is a true story" except none of it can be independently proved apart from the fact he was a terrible stand-up, but he is a great actor and writer.

Great series . ❤ She was brilliant. Baby Reindeer because he has big eyes and big ears like a baby reindeer. 😅

Something is not right about both of them! Both of them are a bit messed up. Sorry do not believe it was soooo one sided.

Boy, this video didn't age well, especially since she went on Pierce Morgan. Fiona Harvey. There are loads of attorneys just foaming at the bit to sue on her behalf.

Woke Waxk

This is not the true story it’s click bait. It’s just a blow by blow account of the Netflix series

“In real life” you don’t know much else about this true story. This was simply a recap 👎🏼

Loved it! Great insight into all of the characters.Wery well written, acting and great story telling.

Glad the show was a popular one. I didn't care for the show and didn't care for the characters although the actors did a good job portraying the sad bunch

The actress of Martha played this role so well I get chills whenever I see her in other shows

God damn this show is weird but I really liked it. Recommend

You think the police part is over exaggerating but we had same reaction to being attacked by our neighbour that knows the law well enough he can't get caught it really hurt to watch those parts

9 months and 5 years of restraining order? If this was a man doing all that he would of gotten life as he or she should get

7:32 Stalking isn't taken seriously enough in any Western country it is seen as a joke

CLICKBAIT*** THIS IS NOT THE TRUE STORY, THIS IS A DAMN RECAP

Spoilers?!!!!!!!!.. Beware!!!!!

Is it just me who thinks he should have not led her on ? He knew she was odd and dangerous but didn't nip it in the bud. Then even accepted on fb. ( after googling her)Wtf

Is it worth a watch?

Just finished this show. 🤯🤯🤯

The public has declared it! "Baby Reindeer" stands as a true masterpiece. A round of applause for the exceptional cast and crew. Anticipate a plethora of awards being bestowed upon this remarkable piece of artistry.

I do wonder where all of these RU-vid videos went ? Like the one of Martha interrupting and the one of his breakdown which went viral, Never seen it, still cant find it

Tony Blair "top politician" 🤣🤣

Juat finished it wow hes amazing respect to him

ONLY 5yr order???? We can get them indefinitely in America!! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ This is ridiculous!!

Been stalked by one of these since 2007 after my fiance died and she tried to assume her identity. My eventual restraining order got dismissed months later over a "technicality"

I just finished the show and man was it great and disturbing at the same time! My husband stopped it on episode 2, he said it’s too uncomfortable to watch and I agreed 💀 great acting though

People like this show??
