The Baby

What starts out as a fun and intriguing premise ultimately gets sunk when the plot begins dragging around the halfway mark and never really picks back up again until the finale. I can't help but feel like this would have been better off being made as a movie as opposed to stretching a plot like this out over eight half-hour long episodes.

Michelle de Swarte is a really fun lead who elevates the material as best she can and I do appreciate the themes the show delves into, plus I admit I really did enjoy the finale, I just wish we got there sooner.

As a fan of English humour and black humour just one episode is enough for me and I'm simply hook up with it and can't wait for another one. So if you love dark humour don't hesitate to check it out.

I'm always down for some dark humor and social commentary as long as its not beaten over your head. For the most part I think this series did well with both. The struggles of being a lesbian in older times is woven quite well into the story, and even what modern couples can face with adoption. By far and away the best part was the titular baby! Every time you hear his giggle whether on screen or off you know more violence has befallen a character and I was there for it every time. Not a perfect series by any stretch, but it was still entertaining throughout. I'll never understand people who rate shows whether it be positive or negative until it's run has been completed. There's an episode tag to rate individual episodes in a series, but it is what is I suppose.

Two episodes so far and I'm all in. Different, original and morbidly funny. I see a couple bad reviews after just one episode (assuming they finished the episode) but it's the normal fare of knucklehead reviewers. Majority reviews are accurate, this is a good one. Check it out.

I hate cookie cutter formulaic movies and series. While I have only seen one episode, I was intrigued with how this story would unfold. The opening scene puts you on pins and needles. The tension around the main character's life is very realistic and relatable. It unfolds into a beautiful disaster and the simultaneous adornment of the baby's giggle makes it that much more disturbing. I look forward to seeing where this goes, but for now, this show seems well worth the watch.
