    This BROKE me. Man oh man how in the hell did he make me feel this for her. Just they way she says ‘when they fought…’ God. In that one moment everything Donnie felt makes sense.

    Great acting. Can't say I felt too bad for her after everything she did, but I always enjoy it when you see the curtains fall back on a monstrous character like this and you see something remotely emulating humanity. Considering how the protagonist in this show had been seen with many of his flaws, but was overall a good person. It was a good mirror to see this awful human being be treated with the same layer of depth and realism.
    Still a psychotic nutcase, but this scene more makes one feel a bit of sympathy. It's a nice touch that they linked a mental health organisation at the end too, no one is born bad, they just turn out that way if things are left untouched. Great show, a bit weird, but great. I'd recommend.

      i didnt think she was a monster, she was a broken human being, a woman whos incredible intelligence went agaisnt her her whole life, she was top of her class at lawyer university, but in the end her traumas made her use that obsessive academic intelligence to fabricate a very vivid fantasy that was better than her real traumatic life. life broke her, i think it goes to show how tragic her story is, and how we are just byproducts of our life circumstances, she wasnt a monster, she was just a victim of life's circumstances and that made her seem like a monster, but in reality all monster are born from trauma and hurt.

      @@oliverjones2426 The reasons are always there to justify why we are the way we are. But at the end of the day, she made someone else's life miserable because of her obsessions. Mental illness isn't something we can lean on, I think she's someone who clearly needed help, I'm not saying I think she's evil, just what she did was monstrous, attacking his personal friends, family, all to get to him. There's no excuse for that.

      Either get up to date, do a tad more research or just ask for clarifications.
      The man was asked about links people on Reddit had made between his career and living locations, and the given details from both the stage play and Netflix show.
      In response Davies only said -paraphrasing here- Netflix didn’t do a good enough job hiding the identities in that show.
      The man has also claimed he is “untouchable” and “people don’t tell me no”.

    Baby reindeer is a metaphor used here to represent her comfort against adversities. And to call him her Baby Reindeer comes to show how much he meant to her with all the things that happened in her past, and having his presence in her life now paved a future that she had long sought after: love ans security. Now that we know the backstory of why she called him Baby Reindeer, take back to the court scene where she was charged and sentenced to imprisonment, she cried out Baby Reindeer a few times not to call to Gadd but was in actuality to refer to her toy Baby Reindeer as to comfort herself internally.

    OK, I just discovered this thing about a minute ago, so please explain this to me. Is this a series that sets up a female stalker character only to make her relatable in the last episode? Is this a WHOLE FUCKING MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PROJECT conceived, written, organized and executed with the singular focused intent to send the message that "this whole stalking thing that we feminist creators have been telling you is SUPER FUCKING WRONG for the last 20 years or so, well, it is actually OK when a woman does it"?

      That couldn’t be further from the message of the show. It doesn’t absolve her actions at all. It’s about how the main character is so hurt by what’s happened to him that he was getting something from the stalking situation himself and now he sees something of himself in her.
