This mesmeric, artistic and semi-allegorical piece of terror-natal strangeness is a compelling watch but not necessarily an essential one. The story of a woman in her late 30s whose friends are all breeding and who is suddenly lumbered with a terrifyingly violent monster baby who wants her all to himself. It probably didn't need all eight episodes to tell this story, and it stumbles along in fits and starts but it's creatively built and grounded by some fantastic performances, particularly the dynamic between Michelle de Swarte's volatile Natasha and her more hapless be-dungaree'd sister Bobbi (Amber Grappy) who I felt a particular empathy for and who I wish had shown up in the series much earlier than she did.
