A comedian wrote a hit TV series about his real experiences with being stalked. Now, he’s asking fans of the show to stop sleuthing themselves. 'Baby Reindeer' showrunner and star Richard Gadd previously told Variety that his show, which follows a character named Donny who gets stalked, is “emotionally 100% true.' But the fictional stalker character, Martha, is not meant to resemble her real-life counterpart.
” Representatives for Gadd, Netflix and Foley did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. Gadd's Instagram story comes amid increased attention surrounding the show and fan impulse to 'armchair sleuth.' Experts have previously told NBC News that the desire to sleuth, which has become commonplace on the internet, is a symptom of the internet’s obsession with true crime and its desire to engage in gossip.
