The truth about Baby Reindeer
Manage episode 419308521 series 2534613
Over 60 million people have watched the massive Netflix hit, Baby Reindeer. Made in the UK, it’s described as a dark comedy drama-thriller miniseries, but it’s the label it gave itself that has thrust the show into the news - ‘this is a true story’. Cue a debate about entertainment and the truth in the era of streaming platforms that aren’t necessarily putting much stock in compliance with broadcasting codes of conduct. It’s an issue that has made it all the way to the UK’s Parliament…
Club Picks:
- An interview with Richard Gadd in GQ from early April outlining where he is coming from…
- This piece in the Free Press called Baby Reindeer Is a True Story - But Whose True Story?
- The Hollywood Reporter’s report on some comments made by Russell T Davies. He’s the guy behind the most recent Doctor Who series and he’s got a lot of experience in complying with broadcasting standards.
