Baby Reindeer (Netflix)
“Baby Reindeer” feels like a modern take on Stephen King’s “Misery.” The TV series follows a struggling comedian who, as an apparent act of compassion, is kind to a lonely woman that appears to be incredibly interested in him. The gesture quickly devolves into an obsession from the woman, who begins to stalk him.
