Merge Request

[edit]

I've opened a merge request in regards to whether Fiona Muir-Harvey should be merged into this article. If you wish, please comment at Talk:Fiona Muir-Harvey#Merge_Request. Thanks, Mdann52 (talk) 14:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Genre overkill?

[edit]

In the lede we have had the rather unwieldy description, "Baby Reindeer is a British psychological black comedy-drama thriller television miniseries". It rather reminds me of Flight of the Conchords' self-billing as "New Zealand's Fourth Most Popular Folk Parody Duo". I wonder if editors can agree on a more succinct and less awkward description. The two cited sources ([1] and [2]) lean heavily on "dark comedy" with a mention of it being a "horror series". To my mind, the psychological aspect is probably quite significant (needs a better citation) but the comedy-drama and thriller aspects are unnecessary detail and can be dropped. Suggest: "Baby Reindeer is a British psychological black comedy television miniseries" Cnbrb (talk) 16:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be Speculation about inspiration?

Given living persons, etc, until proven in a court of law? Hcobb (talk) 08:03, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's no longer in any doubt that Fiona Harvey is the inspiration since her public statements in May 2024, so there's no need to change the heading. All that is in dispute is whether the portrayal was fair or accurate. That will doubtless be elaborated on whenever she takes this to court. Cnbrb (talk) 16:23, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
