In a phenomenal turn of events, "Baby Reindeer," the captivating TV series that tells Richard Gadd's lightly fictionalized stalker story, has taken Netflix by storm, captivating viewers with its compelling narrative. According to official Barb figures supplied by overnights.tv, the show experienced a staggering surge in its second week on the streaming platform.

The first episode of "Baby Reindeer" witnessed an impressive viewership of 3 million over the past seven days, marking a significant 64% increase from its initial week on Netflix, when it attracted 1.7 million viewers. With these numbers, the episode has now accumulated a cumulative audience of 4.7 million viewers.

The success of "Baby Reindeer" extends beyond just its first episode - the entire series, which premiered on April 11, has dominated the UK online viewing charts. All seven episodes of the show have claimed the top spots in the list of most-watched shows and films, solidifying its status as a fan favorite.

To further solidify its triumph, Netflix also revealed the series' outstanding performance on their platform. "Baby Reindeer" topped Netflix's English-language TV chart, garnering a remarkable 13.3 million views in the week leading up to April 21. This incredible response can be attributed to the 2.6 million views the show received in its initial few days on the streaming service.

However, amidst its soaring popularity, "Baby Reindeer" has encountered some unwanted consequences. Both Richard Gadd and co-star Jessica Gunning have urged fans to refrain from attempting to identify the real-life characters in the true story. False allegations flooding social media platforms have led to a rather disheartening situation. Gunning expressed her disappointment, stating that the online speculation detracts from the essence of the show. She emphasized that the connection between the viewers and the story of Martha and Donny should be the driving force, rather than engaging in detective work to uncover real identities.

"Baby Reindeer" continues to captivate audiences across the UK, its engrossing narrative resonating with viewers and propelling it to the forefront of the streaming world. With its unprecedented success, the show stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and its ability to leave a lasting impact on its viewers.
