Baby Reindeer might have finished on a full-circle note, but star Nava Mau reveals a deleted scene that would have been crucial.
The final scene of Netflix’s surprise hit Baby Reindeer shows Donny (played by series creatorRichard Gadd) being offered a drink on the house at a pub, but star Nava Mau has revealed that a deleted scene could have been crucial for Teri’s closure.
“That’s what gave me so much comfort, knowing that they found peace with regards to their relationship. Teri got her happy ending, you know? Teri found a new man, she didn’t lose her friends, she didn’t lose her job, she didn’t lose her smile. She’s good. And I think that is remarkable because so often we’ve seen stories of trans people that end with them broken.”
“I wonder why they deleted the scene — I doubt they were that strict about time constraints. The lack of closure between them (ie, one last conversation) was my only criticism of this series,” one fanweighed in.
A seconddisagreed: “Eh, I thought it felt very true to life. Teri moved on with someone who wasn’t afraid to love her. Donny was just too late. Sometimes you don’t get closure.”
Baby Reindeer is about to become the most-watched Netflix show of all time but has also been in the news over the last week for different reasons. TV starRichard Osman has claimed “everybody” in the industry knows who Gadd’s real abuser isfollowing false allegations, whileFiona Harvey has refuted claims that she is the “real-life Martha.”
