(tv series) The Baby season 1 – weird little series that leaves questions and no real answers

There is a flood of quality and less quality tv series in recent years, so it is really nice being able to find something for everyone. Even us horror fiends out there craving for great mixute of horror, gore and comedy. This HBO´s eight part series was a bizarre experience to watch, sometimes too slow and I just waited to end and sometimes I enjoyed it so much.

The premise is about demonic mysterious baby whose seeming mother kills herself in a brutal way and our main character Natasha in a weird mix of circumstances takes baby and tries to solve the curse and why the people surrounding the baby die in horrific ways and what are origins of this baby. Well, this is basically comedy horror series with some grotesque scenes and folk horror influences thrown here and there for good measure. Although the episodes last no longer than 30 minutes each, there are couple that I considered very boring and waited only to end so in my opinion five episodes could be just enough, no more needed. Story ends kind of lame and there is a window for another season left open, but I am not really sure if I want another season, because this one is under the radar and will leave no fond memories for me. Characters are irritating and sometimes I really wish they were dead, also story hooks and lines become confusing and sometimes just too fast and not really clear.
