"Baby Reindeer" tells an extremely tragic and sad story, through the facade of a comedy.
Normally, such a story would be told differently - the images would be darker, the music more unpleasant and the scenes longer, but "Baby Reindeer" does not do any of that, which is why the series seems so light-hearted at first glance.
I have often read that some people find the main character's behavior incomprehensible and that the writing in general is sometimes strange, but I think many people have missed the fact that the series is based on a true story - which is probably also because it is not really communicated well here, which I think is a shame, because knowing that the story is not made up is important for evaluating the series. At the very beginning, it says "this is a true story", but if you don't pay attention for a moment, you won't know that for the entire course of the series.
In addition, Richard Gadd - the actor who plays the main character - is the person the series is about. So he plays himself.
In summary, I think the series represents pretty well that not everything is always as it seems. As the saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover".
You never know what is going on inside a person.
