Netflix’s new show Baby Reindeer widely received rave reviews when it first aired, until it was met with increasing backlash about the streamer’s duty of care to the subjects in the drama - which was billed as “a true story”.
The show provides a harrowing look at abuse and stalking, which writer Richard Gadd said he received at the hands of his real-life stalker “Martha”. When internet sleuths tracked down the real Martha however, the show’s trajectory took a dark turn, prompting questions about what really happened between the two protagonists.
In this episode of the Hukum podcast, we discuss the show, the intersection of writing and the law, and the real-life Martha’s (Fiona Harvey) bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
