Despite its initial success, Baby Reindeer has now been surpassed on Netflix’s top 10 chart by Jeff Daniels’ new series from the creator of The Lincoln Lawyer, which has taken the number one spot.
As we compile our list of the top TV shows of 2024, Baby Reindeer will continue to stand out as one of the most talked-about streaming sensations of the year. Richard Gadd’s show, which is based on his personal experience with stalking, has captured global attention for several weeks. However, the show’s popularity has also sparked controversy, leading to a police investigation and the creators and actors pleading with viewers to refrain from any real-life attempts to identify the individuals portrayed.
Nevertheless, its dominance on Netflix has been dethroned: A Man in Full, the latest television series created by David E. Kelley (known for his work on Big Little Lies and Ally McBeal), has surpassed it on the top 10 rankings. While it may not currently hold the top spot, which is currently occupied by Katt Williams: Woke Foke, Baby Reindeer has dropped to third place.
The show, which is adapted from Tom Wolfe’s popular novel, centers around Charlie Croker (portrayed by Daniels), a wealthy real estate mogul in Atlanta who is facing financial ruin. As his business begins to collapse, those close to him, as well as his enemies, attempt to seize control.
Along with Regina King directing the episodes, the cast boasts Diane Lane, William Jackson Harper, and Lucy Liu, while Thomas Schlamme also serves as director.
Despite having a 43% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 59% audience rating, A Man in Full has received praise from viewers. One user wrote, “Just binged A Man in Full on #Netflix… wow – what a series!
