The Baby

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.

Loved the start lots of weirdness and humor unfortunately it didn't maintain its momentum (no idea the point of the commune) such a shame it could of been good.would love to see Michelle in more she was great.

This show is a surprising jigsaw puzzle. It is a bit omnidirectional but with enough corners to make the journey to it's episodes last scene, entertaining.

The premise is original and dark humour spot on. It won't be for everyone. Especially those who don't get british, sarcastic, in your face type stuff.

As a matter of fact. I highly recommend Americans use subtitles seeing as you have difficulty with dialects not your own. (no offence intended).

Bottom line. If weird is one of your middle named. Give it a shot.

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.

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.
