From the moment it begins, HBO’s new horror-comedy, The Baby, addresses an idea that feels taboo yet deeply relatable: Babies are terrifying
. They are fragile and demanding, innocent and frustrating. Parenting is often described as both the most amazing and most difficult task one can undertake. A show about a baby that combines a 30-minute comedy with a psychological thriller may seem ridiculous, unless you’ve been around a baby even once.
As Tash learns from the enigmatic and elusive Mrs. Eaves , this baby, who remains nameless for much of the show, has been an infant for quite some time. Throughout the past few decades, everyone who has watched over the baby in some capacity has died in an unexpected and gruesome way, something the baby seems inexplicably responsible for. Mrs. Eaves’s solution? Kill the baby, obviously.
The Baby feels particularly timely given the Supreme Court’s leaked draft decision, which would effectively end Roe v. Wade and the right to abortion as we’ve known it for the past 50 years. The show could easily be read as an allegory for forced parenthood or a parody of the way women are often seen as synonymous with mothers, regardless of whether they want kids or not.
