Is it for me?
Baby Reindeer viewers who can take more discomfort will find this worth the bruising. It swings between black comedy and cruelty inside a single scene. Niall's mother leaves him at a hostel and he swears he will never call his brother for help. Jamie Bell makes Niall's bad choices maddening but sympathetic, and Gadd gives Ruben enough hurt that he is not a plain villain.
Before you start
The episodes alternate between the characters' youth and the present, so watch them in order and leave yourself room between the heavier ones.
1 season, 6 episodes, 61 min each, about 6 hours so far
