- Gadd asked fans to stop speculating online after writer Sean Foley was harassed online.
- There was intense speculation that one of the characters was based on writer, actor, and producer Sean Foley.
- The show also used the real messages and emails that Gadd said the stalker sent to him, hence, some people cross-referenced them on social media.
- Netflix hosted a 'Baby Reindeer' screening and Q&A session on May 7 in Los Angeles with both Gadd and Gunning in attendance.
- In the show, the perpetrator is a powerful TV producer called Darrien. People speculated the character to be based on Foley, who coincidentally stepped down from his role as the artistic director at the Birmingham Repertory Theater on April 18.

The Sonic The Hedgehog Movies And Shows, Ranked From Worst To Best
- Sonic, the Hedgehog has been a part of television and film adaptations for more than thirty years.Some Sonic-based shows are easy-going adaptations like Looney Tunes, such as 'Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'.While the others such as 'Sonic the Hedgehog' lean into a darker tone with an interwoven narrative and evolving character relationships.The most recent entry of Paramount's live-action Sonic universe with its uninteresting human characters and hype on product placement is its weakest offering.The 'Sonic Underground' animated series from 1999 started with Sonic as a prince, fighting Dr Robotnik with his speed and overthrowing the rebellion through rock band performance, in addition to sci-fi fantasy escapades.
- The 'Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie' from 1996 is enjoyable due to some impressive action scenes metal sonic and Dr Robotnik. Sonic OVA would have been better with better dubbing performances.Though Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) was frustrating with annoying product placements, working mostly as a kid's film, Jim Carrey's performance, and some endearing moments with the protagonist along with the better Sonic movie, the second live-action Sonic movie is about as perfect as these films can be.
- Netflix's animated series 'Sonic Prime' focuses on Sonic traveling through different universes where he encounters different archetypes of his friends and typical plots. While Sonic Boom animated series is one of the wittiest portrayals of Sonic and his friends, with plenty of humor that respects the audience.The Sonic X anime adaptation, which meaningfully adapts entire games into arcs of its' run, is, according to fans, the show that captures the essence of Sonic best.

'Baby Reindeer' viewers watched a stalking drama — then hunted down 'the real Martha Scott.' A psychologist explains why true crime turns us into armchair detectives.
- "Baby Reindeer" audiences turned into armchair detectives, trying to identify the real-life characters involved in the show through social media and online searches.
- Psychologist Dr. Ruth Tully said true crime blurs the line for some viewers between entertainment and real life, causing some to want to become part of a possible solution.
- Some may learn how to stay safe or learn about perpetrators' behaviors and victims' behaviors through true-crime series.
- In the case of "Baby Reindeer," Piers Morgan recently interviewed a woman named Fiona Harvey, guiding true-crime fans on a line of inquiry regarding the real people depicted in the show.
- Netflix took measures to protect the identity of those involved in "Baby Reindeer," but viewers were able to match a character in the show with a particular woman on social media, leading to continued harassment.
- However, the responsibility to not harass people still lies with the audience themselves, according to Dr. Tully
- Netflix previously came under fire from a victim's family for their inaccurate depiction in the 2023 series 'Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.'
- This is not the first time the public has reacted to true-crime series in this way, with instances of conspiracy theorists trespassing on private property to investigate true crimes, according to reports.
- Netflix policy chief Benjamin King said that the streamer took 'every reasonable precaution' to disguise the identities of the real people involved, but it's 'obviously very difficult to control what viewers do.'
- Several personalities related to the show "Baby Reindeer," including Sean Foley and Martha Scott, have been harassed by viewers trying to identify the real-life characters in the show.
