The Dark Truth About "Baby Reindeer"...

Baby Reindeer is a Netflix original limited series that has taken the world by storm. It's a show about masculinity, the need to be seen, male violence, and so much more. Although the show seems great, the discourse online paints a different picture. With internet sleuths attempting to find the real people in the show, and the show boldly proclaiming that it “is a true story”, chaos has ensued since the release of the show. Can anything ever be enjoyed without discourse? No. Today, I’ll be discussing my opinion on the show itself, and the fallout surrounding it. Let me know what you all think of the show and this video. I hope you all enjoy the video!
