In a remarkable achievement, “Baby Reindeer” has surged into Netflix's top 10 most popular shows list. The series, which was released on April 11, quickly became a global sensation when it consumed audiences with its gripping narrative and incredible performances. So, it’s no surprise the show has exceeded 80 million views in just over two months.
“Baby Reindeer” was originally a one-man show created by comedian Richard Gadd — based on his own experiences — before it was turned into a Netflix series. The story follows Gadd's fictionalized character, Donny, who has an intense and unsettling encounter with a woman who becomes obsessively fixated on him. This woman in question is Martha (Jessica Gunning), who grows increasingly attached to Donny and ends up sending him 41,071 emails, 46 Facebook messages, 106 pages of letters, 350 hours of voicemails, and 744 tweets.
Yes, these numbers are true, and the show reveals some real messages. The seven-episode series delves into themes of stalking, psychological trauma, and the impact of obsessive behavior on one's life. It also aims to show how the system fails to recognize those with mental health issues, considering they're treated as "monsters" rather than people who just need support.
