The Netflix series "Baby Reindeer" written by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd based on the true story of a period in his life when he was stalked by a woman whom he gave a free cup of tea while working as a bartender in London, has been burning itself into the eyeballs and psyches of millions of people. Lisa was fascinated by the hit show's unflinching honesty, style, structure and incredible performances by both Gadd and Jessica Gunning.
