  • Stephen King loves 'Baby Reindeer' so much he's written an essay about it
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 03:20 AM

    Stephen King often recommends shows he likes on X (formerly Twitter), but it's not often he writes a whole essay about them. That's exactly what the horror master has done for Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd's limited Netflix series based on his own experience of being stalked. SEE ALSO: 'Baby Reindeer' has seen a wave of armchair detectives.
