With its gripping true crime story that delves into the unsettling worlds of harassment, stalking, and assault that author Richard Gadd has experienced, Baby Reindeer has captured the attention of viewers.
But in the middle of fans’ fervor to uncover the identity of the game’s menacing characters, the designer has pleaded with fans and supporters to put an end to their pursuit of identifying the actual people behind the horrific deeds.
In response to Gadd’s request, devoted viewers who are unable to give up on their curiosity might find solace for it in a few series that explore related feelings in distinct ways in order to redirect their focus.
