By Baby Reindeer
Richard Gadd‘s acclaimed Netflix hit series “Baby Reindeer” will compete in the Limited Series categories for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards. The series has overtaken “Shogun” and “X-Men ’97” as the best reviewed TV series of 2024 so far on Metacritic.
The seven-episode series starts as a lightly fictionalized account of Gadd’s own experience with a stalker who sent him over 40,000 emails, hundreds of tweets, letters and voicemails. It ultimately forces him to face a dark, buried trauma. [Source: TV Line]
