“Martha can you let go of my hand now, please??” Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for a dark comedy series titled Baby Reindeer, arriving for streaming on Netflix starting in early April. The series is created and written by the Scottish comedian & actor Richard Gadd, telling his own story once again. This story about his stalker and his relationship with her was already turned into a play that he debuted at Edinburgh Fringe a few years ago. Now it’s being turned into a Netflix series, expanded into eight 30-minute episodes. In Baby Reindeer, when a struggling comedian shows an act of kindness to a vulnerable woman stalking him, it sparks a suffocating obsession which threatens to wreck both their lives. Starring Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn, along with Jessica Gunning as Martha, Danny Kirrane as Gino, Nava Mau as Teri, plus Hugh Coles, Tom Goodman-Hill, Jamie Michie, and Chloe Driver. Well, well, this looks damn good! An impressive dark comedy twist on a very uncomfortable, unsettling real life situation. This is worth a look.
