One more proof that not everything is about marketing.

Summary:

  • Netflix has been repeatedly proving that projects with star-studded cast and a whole fortune put in it are guaranteed hits, but the streaming’s brand new show pretends to showcase the opposite.
  • Having started its run on Netflix with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, the miniseries is based on the director and main actor’s personal story.
  • Upon its release on Netflix the show entered Netflix’s top of most-watched projects and is currently dominating it.

Netflix may be all over promising shows and movies with Hollywood’s biggest stars and bloated budgets, but every so often smaller projects can take over top charts — and it’s currently happening thanks to the streaming’s brand new show.

After being released only a week ago, a thriller miniseries Baby Reindeer is Netflix’s number one show with Rotten Tomatoes’ high rating as a bonus.

What Is Baby Reindeer About?

Created by and starring Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer is based on Gadd’s own one-man show of the same name and follows the writer’s personal traumatic experience with a female stalker with whom he ends up having complex relationships.

The show emphasizes the events’ sinister consequences that result in psychological traumas, self-destruction and inauspicious relationships.

Baby Reindeer kicked its Netflix premiere off with an impressive result of 100% score from critics and 87% from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.

Is Baby Reindeer Worth Watching?

The show received numerous accolades for exposing violent themes in a compelling way, but also for bringing in some comedy that doesn’t give an impression of being incorporated inappropriately.

Last week, Baby Reindeer ended up being Netflix’s fifth most-watched show neighboring Bad Dinosaurs and Ripley — as for now, Richard Gadd’s thrilling story has climbed up to the very top of the streaming chart.

Turns out that the brand new show owes its blowing success exclusively to the ways that it uses to explore hidden corners of dark human reality as Baby Reindeer can’t boast of a significant budget nor features famous actors in its cast.

With all the big wins that Baby Reindeer has had in its stock within just one week, the show is having a long run ahead of it that may still have chances to blow everyone away even more.
