If you’re a passionate enthusiast of genres like stalking and obsession, you’re in for a treat. ‘Baby Reindeer’, a true-life Netflix series tells the story of struggling comedian Donny Dunn and his stalker, but it’s not your typical stalker story.
Baby Reindeer is the story of one unlucky young man getting cruelly stalked by a mentally ill woman, who, it turns out, has a history, and a criminal record, for doing so. Moreover, it’s a true story. True-ish, anyway, as Baby Reindeer is based on Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show.
If you’re looking for more shows like Baby Reindeer, MM News has listed some such series for you if you liked ‘Baby Reindeer’ on Netflix:
Beef
Another high-quality, darkly comedic gem that’s unlike most of the shows that Netflix is putting out these days,
Beef is all about the strange relationship that develops between two people (Steven Yeun and Ali Wong) after a heated road rage incident locks their lives together.
The Netflix Original follows the 10-episode story of two characters engaged in a petty rivalry after a road rage incident.
You
If the stalking angle is what got you hooked on Baby Reindeer, then you should also watch Netflix’s You, the current king of stalker shows.
Penn Badgley stars as Joe Goldberg, a charismatic bookstore employee in New York City who has a dangerous knack for obsessing over women. Told from his point of view, it’s a different angle from Baby Reindeer on the mentality of an obsessive, but gives insight into the incredible preparation and the mental gymnastics that stalkers engage in.
Ripley
This new take on Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, simply titled Ripley, takes the gloss and glitz out of the popular 1999 movie and sharpens it into a gorgeous black-and-white psychological thriller about a man who will stop at nothing to live the life he thinks he deserves.
Based on Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, this eight-part adaptation chronicles the journey of the eponymous character (played by Scott) as he succumbs to the allure of opulence in 1960s Italy.
Anthracite
A new addition to Netflix this month, the plot of the limited series format is indeed intriguing: the body of a young woman is found in the French Alps, and it’s quickly hinted that her death may be tied to a mass suicide that happened at that same place 30 years ago.
