Jessica Gunningwhich interprets the stalkerMartha in Baby Reindeer (Baby Reindeerin the original), believes that Netflix’s new feature has a “unconventional love story”. The production, which has been among the most viewed on the platform since its debut, shows a comedian pursued by a woman obsessed with him.

“I never thought of the series as a stalker/victim story”declared to the program The Editfrom the BBC. “From the moment I read the script, I related and connected with her [Martha] and I think that’s because of how well Richard wrote her and her characters. Donny [protagonista da produção]”.

“I believe she is fascinating. One minute she is vulnerable, the next minute she is hilarious but vulnerable.”, added the actress, describing her character. She also reinforced that this is not a “villain and victim” story:

“Richard [Gadd, criador, roteirista, produtor e protagonista da série] did an amazing job of not making the story too obvious, so there really are no good guys and bad guys, villains or victims.”he explained. “They’re just complicated people like humans are.”

In Baby Reindeerwhich premiered on April 11, we follow the comedian’s story Donny Dunn (Gadd), who begins to be chased by a woman named Martha (Gunning). The production is based on an experience lived by Gadd. Watch the trailer:
