The Big Picture "I almost think you could have ‘based on a true story’ before every show, because all the best shows come from a certain place within someone." That's what writer and performer Richard Gadd, who plays protagonist Donny Dunn in Netflix's newest hit show, Baby Reindeer, tells The Guardian concerning the topic of getting inspiration from your own self to tell a story. And, yeah, he's right.
Release Date April 11, 2024 Cast Richard Gadd , Jessica Gunning , Danny Kirrane , Nava Mau Main Genre Drama Seasons 1 Creator Richard Gadd Writers Richard Gadd Streaming Service Netflix Directors Weronika Tofilska , Josephine Bornebusch 'Baby Reindeer' Details the Relationship Between a Man and His Stalker Baby Reindeer starts innocently enough with a woman walking into a pub with no money and being offered a cup of tea on the house by the bartender.
These two shows make their way into the Netflix Baby Reindeer miniseries in the form of an unplanned rant that Donny lets out during an ill-fated comedy show. The rant then goes viral, prompting his stalker, who had taken a break from his life, to come back and threaten to tell his parents about what she perceives as flaws in his masculinity: the rape, his sexual experiences with men, his relationship with a trans woman...
The same goes for Darrien, the stand-in for the more experienced comedian who abused Gadd early on in his career. What the show tells us is Gadd's emotional truth and a basic outline of events. Real names are never dropped. In the series, Darrien works for a fictional TV show called Cotton Mouth and lures Donny into his world with promises of wealth and fame. Whether the real Darrien had a TV job or not is something that we might never know, and that is by Gadd's own design.
