What stands out most about Bebê Rena, besides the shocking scenes, is that the protagonist/creator of the series very honestly exposes his flaws and vulnerabilities. I’m really impressed with the miniseries. pic.twitter.com/rjzX7sKyvg

“Baby Reindeer” reveals the vulnerability of a man with low self-esteem who allows himself to go through countless horrible situations and this is all scary because it is impossible not to relate to something.
I want this cast to win lots of awards
