Richard Gadd decided to fight trauma in an unusual way. He made the series based on his shocking experiences. It’s still not over. The man played himself in it. We are talking about the production “Reindeer”, which is conquering Netflix and has received very good reviews from critics.
“Reindeer” conquers Netflix. Fans of the series are looking for the hero’s real torturers
The plot of the series is based on the story of an unfulfilled comedian who, instead of performing on stage, works behind a bar. Donny meets Martha during one of his shifts, and she tells him about her busy life as a sought-after lawyer. From then on, the woman comes to the pub every day, gets Donny’s email address and starts stalking him.
“At the beginning, in its awkwardness, the series sometimes forced us to smile nervously. However, when the plot axis deviates from the path chosen at the beginning, we regret every snort. We feel the same feeling of guilt that accompanies our hero throughout his life, only on a completely different scale. This is the moment when watching events on the screen is no longer just awkward, the entertainment ‘in front of the TV’ turns into a dark, unbearable, but very necessary lesson in empathy,” I wrote in my review of the production.
The creator of “Renideer” appealed to the audience. “Don’t look for these people”
The series caused very emotional reactions from the audience. However, the hero of the story emphasizes that he does not want viewers to get involved in his personal life. In an interview for Variety, Gadd emphasized that the identities of the characters in the series were changed enough to protect the real people he met along the way.
Despite this, viewers theorize and compare real people to fictional characters from “Reindeer”, engage in heated discussions and publish the results of investigations. Fans of the series devote most of their attention to finding the true identity of Martha and Darrien. It even came to the point that viewers chose British actor Sean Foley as one of Gadd’s torturers.
In the face of these events, Richard Gadd appealed on his Instagram to stop such practices. “People I love and admire have been unfairly drawn into ridiculous speculations. Don’t look for people you met through the production. That’s not what this show is about,” he said.
