There's nothing worse than your favourite TV series coming to end.
But, luckily for fans of Netflix's Baby Reindeer, there's another show that you might just love.
Baby Reindeer tells the shockingly true story of its creator, Richard Gadd, who found himself in a terrifying position when he became a victim of stalking.
The drama focusses on his warped relationship with a middle-aged woman named Martha (played by Jessica Gunning), who starts relentlessly harassing him after they meet in the pub he works at.

Netflix viewers went absolutely wild for the miniseries when it was released on the streaming platform earlier this month.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one person called it 'one of Netflix's greatest accomplishments'.
Another said: "Words can’t explain the visceral reaction I had watching Baby Reindeer. I can never watch it again but it was a perfect piece of storytelling I’ll never be able to forget."
And even horror legend Stephen King's a fan, simple writing: "BABY REINDEER: Holy s**t."
If you're like me and binge-watched all seven episodes in a matter of days, you may be looking for an equally dark series to watch next.
And Netflix has just the answer:
2023's Beef follows two strangers after a road rage incident brings absolute chaos into their lives.
The series stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as the two main characters, and like Baby Reindeer, it makes for pretty uncomfortable viewing at times, delving into the darkest parts of the human experience.
Human connection and the idea of soul ties - an indescribable and immediate feeling of connection to somebody you've just met, whether positive or negative are at the very core of both.
Both series also explore the ever-changing feelings between each pair from adoration to fascination to contempt, disgust and the need to get revenge. In the end, the true nature of each relationship is revealed.
And, it's safe to say people are equally obsessed with Beef.
One X user wrote: "#BabyReindeer on Netflix. Insanely intense. Misery meets Falling Down meets Beef."
Another said: "Baby Reindeer on Netflix is an incredibly heart-wrenching depiction of trauma and abuse and just amazing art. Writing and acting beyond compare. You'll love it if you loved it Feel Good and/or Beef."
While a third thought: "I just finished #BEEFNetflix and wow! So damn good. One of the best shows I have seen in a while."
Another said: "Beef on Netflix is the best show I’ve watched in years."
Someone else commented: "I just finished Beef on Netflix and WOW."
And one user added: "I’m watching Beef on Netflix and this show is a WILD ride."
Both Baby Reindeer and Beef are available to stream on Netflix now.
