Binged watched the whole show, finished it just now. Thoughts all over the place, and I'll probably gather them and put them down sometime. But rn off the top of my head, I'm just so overwhelmed. So overwhelmed. The writing is just top-notch perfect. The direction is amazing, not a single dull moment in the entire series. Everything's perfect. So much for different pieces of media, trying to depict abuse and trauma, but i gotta say, that Baby Reindeer surpasses them all. So much sensitivity, so much viscerality is conveyed. It's truly haunting. As a viewer, even though I was aware that Martha was a mentally ill woman, and that all her actions were a result of that illness and without any trace of malice or intention, and that she was a person who was institutionally failed , I spent 6⅔rd of episodes hating her detesting her resenting her. Until - until that one final scene at the bar, realisation just dawned on me, that.. she's just a victim of her circumstances, of the system...and that... she's just like Donny. Or rather, that Donny is just like her. Truly a revelatory moment in the show for me. It just flips the tables, and makes me have a whole new perspective on Martha,in retrospect. What perfection.
