Winter TV Finales - The Baby - miniseries

The Baby is one of those series I had on my BingeList (conveniently on Binge, in Australia) saw the other day and thought, today is the day to take on The Baby.

It's a genre bending, British horror comedy limited series. Landing on HBO on 24 April 2022, the series consists of just eight, short episodes.

When 38-year-old Natasha is unexpectedly landed with a baby, her life of doing what she wants, when she wants, dramatically implodes. Controlling, manipulative and with violent powers, the baby twists Natasha's life into a horror show. Where does it come from? What does it want? And what lengths will Natasha have to go to in order to get her life back? She doesn't want a baby. The baby wants her.

Rotten Tomatoes reportedly gives The Baby an 82% approval rating. I also approve, take a look below.


With the world needing more 20-30 minute horror/comedies (think Shining Vale, also on Binge) this was a super easy watch. Sitting down from Saturday night to Wednesday night just smashing through this in-between all my other shows. The Baby could be the easiest watch of winter, 2022.

I am not a huge British TV watcher, so to dive straight into this HBO/Sky Studios co-production, I was surprised how easily this was to consume.

With enough comedy mixed in with the horror (even a little gore), this evil baby really keeps you hooked in till the very last scene.

One flashback episode was a little dry, however the eight episodes, the plot all moved along at a steady ass pace.

Totally give this one a go, it's different, it's nice, it's very unusual.
