"Baby Reindeer" won the Golden Globe for best television limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television.
Star and creator Richard Gadd accepted the award on the show's behalf. Gadd said he believed the show was successful because "people were crying out for something that spoke to the kind of painful inconsistencies of being human."
"We need stories that speak to the complicated and difficult nature of our times," he said.
Other nominees in the category included "Disclaimer," "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," "The Penguin," "Ripley" and "True Detective: Night Country."
