Through it all, Natasha struggles to extricate herself from the baby’s murderous thrall, all while keeping him in clean diapers. The show, which was created by Lucy Gaymer and Siân Robbnis-Grace, toggles adroitly between humor , scares, and the quieter, more chilling terror baked into the series’ nightmare tale of maternity.

I was kind of like, ‘Okay.’”
