Created by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd and starring Jessica Gunning as his stalker, Martha Scott, the dark comedy thriller has been under fire from those who claim to have been depicted by the series.
A Netflix boss says that the company would be “disappointed” if the true story claim at the beginning of Baby Reindeer detracts from the importance of the series which touches on issues of sexual assault and stalking.
She adds: “It was important for those reasons, and if you feel it detracted from that I would be absolutely disappointed, but I absolutely stand by all the show. It’s a drama, not a documentary.” “It’s not about trying to manipulate anybody an algorithm. The truth is way simpler, which is the audience is incredibly clever and incredibly diverse, and they spot good and not boring.”
