"Baby Reindeer" has taken an unexpected breakthrough on Netflix The British comedy thriller has taken the No 1 spot in both the US and the UK and currently ranks as my favorite show of 2024 (though Prime Video's "Fallout" is a close contender)

Based on Scottish comedian Richard Gadd's real-life experiences of being stalked, harassed, and sexually assaulted, the show is engrossing, often highly challenging, and still dominating social media buzz weeks after its debut

With seven relatively short episodes (and several of them under 30 minutes), viewers may have finished watching the Netflix series and may be wondering what to watch next

The chances of a "Baby Reindeer" Season 2 being produced seem pretty slim, but that doesn't mean you can't find similar series on some good streaming services The show's careful balance of serious subject matter and dark comedic elements can be found throughout this list of picks, so here are some of the best shows like "Baby Reindeer" that you can watch right now

If you're looking for a show closer to the tone of "Baby Reindeer," you can't go wrong with the equally excellent "The End of the F***ing World" This British drama also shares an aesthetic similarity, blending serious subject matter with dark comedy The two shows are even from the same British production company

"The End of the F***ing World" features 17-year-old James (Alex Lawther), who believes he may be a psychopath with no empathy and a desire to kill His target is Alyssa (Jessica Barden), a nagging classmate, but she also has a tendency to care But when she suggests they run away together, James' murderous plans are put on the back burner and they embark on an ill-fated road trip
