Any fan of demonic-kid horror will obviously be a natural mark for this series, as might fans of British horror comedies. That said, it’s hard not to feel as though a lot has been left on the table. Given the premise—again, let me repeat, a demon baby!—one would not expect this series to feel so repetitive and, at times, even restrained, from the costume choices to the disaster scenes. There’s an excellent satire in here and also a blood-curdling horror story, but it seems neither has quite learned how to walk.

The show becomes uneven in tone, too reliant on horror tropes (at one point we detour into Children of the Corn territory) and dull secondary storylines. The horror is also pushed too far.

Jun 16, 2022A show that starts with so much promise, but is letdown by a predictable and mundane ending.
