The first couple of episodes of this Netflix series make it look like standard party line propaganda but no, friends, it’s good. It’s actually kind of deep.
The series is about a young working class man who’s trying to claw his way out of a crappy job and an impossible housing situation by becoming a comedian. In the process he becomes a plaything of people with fancy educations who are perverts, rapists, paraphiliacs, and groomers. They abuse him in such terrible ways that the actor playing the role of the young man in his twenties looks like he’s 45. Anybody younger would look too disturbing in this role.
Baby Reindeer throws out all the gender mythology we are currently told to worship. I don’t know if it’s purposeful or not but it’s good. The working class man has to accept the new gender identity that was raped into him and loudly proclaim himself a fashionable sort of victim to be able to make a living and stop being a reject. But deep down he knows that all this crap about identities is a fabrication.
Has somebody watched it? What did you think? The ending simply slaughtered but I don’t want to give anything away if people want to watch. Please sit through the first two episodes. I promise it will start making sense afterwards.
