Stephen King gives the perfect two word review of Baby Reindeer

The King of Horror has spoken.

Written by, created by and starring Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, the show centres around Donny - an aspiring Scottish stand-up who moved to London to pursue his career dream.

Now in his late 20s and working a dead-end job in a pub though, he feels like a failure.

So, when an older female patron at his bar named Martha (Jessica Gunning) laughs at his jokes and shows an interest in him, he is at first pleased with the attention - endeavouring to get more positive reactions out of her.

Adapted from Gadd's hit one-man play of the same name and based on true events that happened to the writer and performer, Baby Reindeer has found a huge fanbase after hitting Netflix.
