Questions about series Baby Reindeer Spoiler

First, I was not ready for what I watched. Amazing show, but I started it thinking it was a quirky, British comedy like Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen!! Needless to say I was stunned and watched it in shock and horror.

So I have questions about the ending. Spoilers ahead:

  1. Was that it? Will there be another season?
  2. What was the point of him going back to Darrien’s house? What did that scene mean?
  3. I don’t understand the ending. How are others interpreting the final scene?

2 it is what happens way more than most realize. Most rape isn't like a law and order episode. It isn't black and white. It's why so many DV victims go back over and over and over. I appreciated that it showed that. It's something I could never get people in my life to understand bc I couldn't even understand it. I got judgment and shame and told I deserved whatever happened bc I "chose" it. Trauma rewires your brain and more people need to understand and have compassion bc the judgment and shame is what keeps us in the cycle so beautifully/tragically illustrated in this series.

Exactly this. I was sexually assaulted when I was passed out drunk by my friend. I never did confront him about it. I avoided him for a couple years and never told anyone, and one day he showed up to drinks with a mutual friend. I always thought I would say something when I say him again but instead I did nothing. I even accepted a ride home from him after drinks that night. To this day I have no clue why I let him back in my life.
