Inkoo Kang reviews the Netflix hit “Baby Reindeer,” starring Richard Gadd, Jessica Dunning, and Nava Mau, and “Under the Bridge,” the Hulu show starring Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough.
In the seven-part series—a half-hour drama that can be hard to watch despite, and at times because of, its protagonist’s hard-won forthrightness—Donny becomes a Dante of his own broken psyche, tracing his descent into abject self-loathing. The stalking is only the first circle of Hell. His real torment is the onslaught of painful memories triggered by Martha’s pursuit.
But there’s catharsis to be found in the clarity with which Donny recounts what happened to him, and in his readiness to acknowledge both his missteps and the depths of his fascination. Rather than vilify his stalker, he deliberately teases out the parallels between them, showing how easily a moment of vulnerability—or of validation—can spiral into obsession.
