If Jessica doesnt get any recognition awards wise for her performance it will be a crime. She managed to repulse, terrify, unease, hate yet also in a way make me feel sorry for martha and that is incredible. Such a complex multi layered person plus Richard drserves all the awards for his writing. To not only share all this but recreate it acting wise is unbelievably brave.

I don’t think Richard Gadd gets enough praise for his acting, he absolutely incredible, authentic, believable and heart wrenching. The intensity and genuine emotion from his eyes is truly phenomenal. Jessica Gunning gives an Oscar worthy performance if it was on the table I don’t think she would even have any competition. If she doesn’t win the Emmy it will be shocking but I think Gadd equally deserves one for his performance. The director and cinematographer deserves one as well! The visual artistry is equally a co-star that deserves more praise. Baby Reindeer is an artistic masterpiece on multiple levels.

Fiona Harvey has a certain type of people she stalks. It has to be someone with a good heart, showing her compassion, someone gentle not able to defend and be aggressive. All her stalking victims have that in common - lovely, gentle, compassionate people.

[@Amy-hx4et]

Hmmm not sure that's strictly true, the lady she stalked is now a barrister and an advocate so she can certainly defend herself.

[@MM-by8ke]

@@Amy-hx4et Unfortunately law didn't protect her at all as stalking in those days was not a crime. She was patient and hoped it would stop but years passed and Fiona didnt stop. When Fiona targeted her disabled son, she got the restraining order. Richard Gadd made comedy show to process his trauma but he never raised a hand on her.

[@marymeyers6814]

I don't understand how Fiona can even begin to think she can win a court case against Gadd, Netflix etc. when they never even used her name and despite the show says "based on true events" so it essentially fiction in the eyes of the viewing audience, but a true story to the writer.
