The Baby

Odd concept babies being adorable haunting killers that is especially well made by HBO! I've been curious about this series it seems solid so far, hard to know what to think but I'm intrigued the pilot is brilliant madness. Has dark comedy, it's mostly bizarre and mystery all mashed in perfectly!

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'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.

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.

Another terrible British production. My partner wanted to watch it, despite the fact I had low expectations we gave it a go. Pretentious attempt at a sort of quasi Giallo-synth horror score, pointless amounts of swearing to mask the terrible script and a whole lot of very outmoded #girlboss realness.

The sort of production that the Guardian will award a 5 star review, of course.
