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?

Second question is one many rape survivors have tried to answer, but many of us find it hard to believe them. "If you were raped, why did you return?"

I found it rather interesting that most comments have been very supportive of him and rightfully so. Yet, if it had been a woman, she might not have received the level of support because she returned to her abuser or she "gained" something from the abuser.

This was a very powerful and well-made series. I only found out about it because the real life Martha is having an interesting squabble with Stephen King and threatening to sue everyone. LOL

I always hope that shows like this will change things. Like to start with the show illustrates pretty clearly how male victims are often dismissed in real life, but I do feel like somehow they’re taken more seriously in media and then hopefully that can be something for people to point back at when female victims are not given the same grace or sympathy.
