While perhaps no one involved in Baby Reindeer could have seen its success coming, it doesn’t quite justify how wildly unprepared everyone seems to have been when it comes to the real Martha.
Maybe he didn’t realise Baby Reindeer, his limited series for Netflix inspired by his own stalking, would cause such a stir.
A misguided logic when it comes to Baby Reindeer is that it’s a good thing to expose the people involved in Gadd’s past.
Despite Gadd insisting that the Martha of Baby Reindeer is “different for legal reasons” from his real stalker, social media accounts purportedly belonging to the woman who inspired the character have been found and scoured for information.
