Horror-comedy 'The Baby' takes the motherhood-as-hell concept and stretches it out to be as literal as it possibly can.
” is the latest offering into that particular canon. As one character in “The Baby” explains, when it comes to raising a baby, “Well, no one really gets it, do they? Not unless they’re in it. In the house all day, no one to talk to. Scream, nap, eat, shit, repeat. It’s a lot.” This is after another character asks the lead whether she’s started hallucinating yet.
For Natasha, the very idea of having a child — of motherhood, in general — is nightmare fuel enough. “The Baby,” however, doesn’t just rely on that fact as the source of both its horror and comedy; throughout the course of its eight episodes, the series specifically challenges the horrors ofmotherhood.
