The hosts of this year’s Emmy Awards, Dan and Eugene Levy, mocked the stalker at the centre of Baby Reindeer in their opening monologue on Sunday night (15 September).
The series follows a struggling comic called Donny Dunn (Richard Gadd), as he is relentlessly harassed and stalked by a woman named Martha Scott (Jessica Gunning) for more than four years.
But Baby Reindeer, Netflix’s mega-hit stalker drama with 11 nominations, got the biggest ribbing.
“I never intended the series to identify any real person as Martha Scott, including Harvey,” he wrote in the 21-page document.
