Netflix's hit show 'Baby Reindeer' has sparked significant controversy and legal scrutiny. The show, created by Richard Gadd, is based on his alleged experiences with a stalker named Martha. The U.K. government is examining the series, and Netflix faces criticism for its handling of sensitive content and lack of safeguarding measures. The real 'Martha' has publicly branded Gadd a 'psychopath,' further fueling the debate. The show also explores themes of obsession, shame, and abuse, but these have been overshadowed by the surrounding frenzy. Online detectives are trying to identify unsettling characters portrayed in the show. Jessica Gunning, who plays Martha, has expressed concerns about the portrayal of her character. Legal and social criticisms of the production have been discussed in various forums.
