The premise
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?
Horror Vault's take
Thirty-eight-year-old Natasha has built her life entirely on her own terms — until a mysterious baby arrives and refuses to leave. This darkly comic horror series treats the infant not as a bundle of joy but as something genuinely dangerous, wielding uncanny powers to bend Natasha's world to its will. Equal parts satirical and sinister, the show uses its supernatural premise to skewer the relentless social expectations placed on women around motherhood. The deeper question of where this baby actually came from gives the series a propulsive, unsettling mystery at its core.
