The Baby

This is a British comedy/horror miniseries with 8 episodes. The first thing I noticed in Ep 1 was some general DEI overrepresentation including the main character being a POC. She is an unlikable terrible person so not off to a good start. The acting is ok and the setup isn't too bad. Not much for comedy though and pretty light on the horror but there's promise. Ep 2 really ramps up the DEI casting. There is an openly racist Indian character who makes a random comment about while babies and ethnic mothers than randomly mentions a white family is racist for no real reason and no context. Starting to notice a distinct lack of white casting and any male characters in general. Ep 3 lesbian couple is introduced including some lesbian kissing. DEI is now at max capacity. There are virtually no white people or men. Any you see are background characters. We are just giving up with the horror aspect and going into more preachy motherhood is hard and nobody but mothers understand. No mention of fathers or men. Story wise it's pretty much at a standstill. There's no real story progression from the first episode and this is mostly pointless. Ep 4 Lesbian characters are now some of the main characters and still max DEI with little story progression. We are reminded they are lesbians at every opportunity. At this point I'm bored about to give up but decided to give it one more episode. Ep 6 is an origin story for one of the main characters. She is revealed to be lesbian and involved with a married woman behind her husbands back. The lesbian make out sex scene is were I shut it down. This is not comedy or horror, it's just preachy woke feminist garbage. There is only 8 30 minute episodes and by ep 4 there is almost no story advancement since ep 1. The idea is interesting enough but they decided to go full extreme woke agenda instead of actually trying to tell a good story. It's possible the last three and a half episodes brought it all together to make sense but at this point I don't care anymore. The only reason I'm giving this a 1 instead of 0 is because there is an actual interesting story buried underneath the mound of garbage that's presented instead. Unless you are an extreme woke feminist there is no reason to watch this trash.
