So, the top show on Netflix right now in the US, Australia, and the UK is this gem called "Baby Reindeer." And let me tell you, it's not your typical Christmas flick. Nah, it's all about this comedian dude named Richard Gadd. Back in his twenties, he was hustling as a stand-up comic, but man, couldn't catch a break.
One day, while slinging drinks at a pub, he meets Martha, this older Scottish lady who's like a walking rain cloud. Feeling sorry for her, Richard hooks her up with a free cup of tea, and bam, instant friendship, right? But here's the kicker—Martha goes from grateful to straight-up obsessed, bombarding poor Richard with more emails than your spam folder can handle.
This Martha character goes full-on stalker mode, messing with Richard's love life and even getting physical with his ex and current girlfriends. And get this, despite all the crazy, Richard can't shake her off! It's like he's got this weird case of Stockholm syndrome.
Even if Martha is ruining his life, she feeds his ego
But when Martha starts messing with his family, that's when Richard finally hits up the cops. "Baby Reindeer" doesn't hold back, showing Martha's villainous side and Richard's own comedy of errors. The show's got everyone mind blown, even the real-life Martha, who shows up on a talk show trying to spin her side of the story. Spoiler alert: she's just as nuts as you'd expect!
