Nick Hilton Independent (UK) Apr 7
2/5
Golaszewski is a talented writer, Cullen and Essiedu are powerful screen presences, yet Babies feels like it aspires to be important, rather than good. Go to Full Review Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Apr 7
4/5
As the episodes crawl by, the show peels back the layers from all of their characters... The moments of catharsis, which explode outwards towards the end of the series, feel all the more powerful as a result; we’ve spent time with these characters.

4/5
It is almost too painful, too intense, too real. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Apr 7
This is powerful television: a tribute to lost babies and grieving would-be parents, as well as an examination of how pregnancy loss can warp personalities and relationships. It is also beautifully acted. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
