When questioned by journalist Kirsty Wark about the lawsuit, Sarandos was resolute in Netflix’s support for Gadd, defending both the creator and the series itself. “We are facilitating storytellers to tell their stories,” Sarandos said, responding to concerns over the platform’s characterization of "Baby Reindeer" as a “true story.”
“Baby Reindeer” plunges viewers into the chaos of Donny’s life. His relentless pursuit of success leaves him vulnerable, exposed, and surprisingly naive to readily avoidable situations. Gadd’s performance is the heart and soul of the show. He portrays Donny with a complex mix of vulnerability, frustration, and dark humour. While Donny can be unlikable at times, Gadd manages to evoke empathy for the character, showcasing the emotional toll of his situation.
