Ever since its debut, Baby Reindeer has captured the hearts of fans with its gripping, haunting, and tumultuous plot centered on obsession. As a result, it has rapidly climbed the ranks of Netflix’s worldwide charts.
Baby Reindeer, created by Richard Gadd, follows the story of Donny Dunn, a struggling comedian who performs at a nearby pub. Everything changes for Donny when Martha Scott enters his life and becomes unhealthily fixated on him. However, this is just one aspect of the bigger and more complex story that unfolds, delving into much deeper issues beyond just stalking.
Since its premiere, Baby Reindeer has been a huge success on Netflix, consistently ranking as one of the most popular series. It has remained in the Top 10 list for several weeks and shows no signs of losing momentum. With this continued success, Baby Reindeer is well on its way to becoming one of the most-watched series in Netflix history.
According to The Independent, Baby Reindeer has reached 56.5 million views in only 26 days, making it a strong contender for Netflix’s top shows. With a premiere window of 91 days, there is still plenty of time for the series to gain even more views. If it can reach 27 million more within 65 days, it will solidify its spot on the list.
It is highly probable that Wednesday will maintain its top position in Netflix’s Top 10 list. Currently, it has the highest number of hours viewed at 252,100,000 million. Following closely behind is Stranger Things Season 4 with 140,700,000 million hours viewed. Unexpectedly, the third spot is occupied by the controversial DAHMER: Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
To secure a place on the list, Baby Reindeer would have to outperform The Witcher Season 1, which has a total of 83 million hours viewed. Based on calculations, Baby Reindeer would need at least 27 million views, or slightly more, within 91 days.
The series has the potential to achieve this goal. According to all indications, it has already gained significant attention, not just for its plot, but also for its real-life origins. The show is based on Gadd’s personal experience of being sexually assaulted and stalked by a patron while working at a pub in his 20s. This experience inspired him to create a one-man show, from which the series was born.
Ever since Baby Reindeer was released, it has been engulfed in a media frenzy as fans try to uncover the identity of the real-life stalker and the truth behind Gadd’s abuser. The series has garnered so much attention that Fiona Harvey, who is believed to be the real-life stalker, has taken to social media to speak out against it.
Baby Reindeer can be found on Netflix, where you can also learn about a deleted scene from the show and discover other series to stream this month.
