‘#DeadBoyDetectives is excellent. I love the mix of fantasy and gross-out adult drama’; Sometimes it seems like the more fantasy a show is, the less it explores real-life human themes. But let the second season come!’
Meanwhile, some fans are already begging the streaming platform to order a second season:
“I actually can’t think about Dead Boy Detectives not getting a second season or the people from the psychiatric ward coming for me again. I’m so attached to the characters.

‘The detective story is SO good that it is a 10/10 program, it doesn’t have a single flaw, is it a television miracle?’
‘I hope Netflix can see the great potential of this show. Renew it for a second season, let the fandom continue to grow and I can assure you that it will be a very big victory for this platform, because it has already grown very quickly in just 10 days.’
“Listen, I will literally sell my soul to Netflix right now if it will get them to renew #DeadBoyDetectives.”

It comes just as Baby Reindeer has been dethroned from the number one spot on Netflix’s most watched list.
The miniseries, which became available for streaming on April 11, became the second most-watched television show after the release of A Man in Full on May 2.
Jeff Daniels stars in the new miniseries about a real estate magnate who is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Daniels’ new drama was enough to beat Baby Reindeer, but the two miniseries have since fallen to numbers three and four on Netflix’s most-watched list.
