Netflix’<\/a>s new thriller Baby Farm has taken the streamer by storm, debuting at number six in the UK’s top 10 TV shows.<\/p>\n

The five-episode Nollywood drama was recently added to the streaming platform globally.<\/p>\n

It follows The Evans Foundation, run by expatriate\u00a0Dr. Oliver Evans and his devoted wife, Sister Barb, which is an organisation claiming to ‘help the community’.<\/p>\n

The synopsis continues: ‘But beneath their benevolent appearances lies a sinister operation that exploits women for profit,’ as the TV show title indicates with its disturbing connotations.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian crime<\/a> drama, starring Rita Dominic and Joseph Benjamin, focuses on the story of a pregnant Adanna (Onyinye Odokoro) who is saved from the streets of Lagos by the charitable organisation but soon realises that everything is not as it seems.<\/p>\n

Black Film Wire<\/a> described the show – which some have compared to shows like The Handmaid’s Tale – as a ‘five-episode Nigerian crime thriller that doesn\u2019t just rattle your nerves, it leaves them in a puddle on the floor.’<\/p>\n

‘The series draws chilling parallels to real-life horrors, grounded by a powerful performance from Onyinye Odokoro as Adanna, a woman pushed to the edge, yet never backing down. <\/p>\n

‘But it\u2019s Genoveva Umeh that left me cold. Her portrayal of Ebun isn\u2019t just haunting\u2014it\u2019s the kind of performance that burrows under your skin and refuses to leave: layered, grounded, and absolutely haunting,’ the publication added.<\/p>\n

‘I really enjoyed every minute of Baby Farm’ X user oluwabanke said.<\/p>\n

‘This show is great give us more like this,’ plaintainchoiice added.<\/p>\n

Although you’ll have to decide for yourself whether this show keeps you ‘captivated’ with some reviews calling it ‘unoriginal’ and ‘too restrained’.<\/p>\n

Executive producer Mo Abudu, who is also the boss of the company EbonyLife TV that created the show in collaboration with Netflix, explained the significance of the show. <\/p>\n

Per Deadline, he said: ‘This series is more than just a thriller – it\u2019s a powerful story rooted in real-life issues told through the lense of bold, cinematic African storytelling. <\/p>\n

‘With breathtaking visuals, a gripping narrative and an outstanding cast and crew,\u00a0Baby Farm\u00a0will keep audiences on the edge of their seats while sparking vital conversations. We can\u2019t wait for the world to experience it.’<\/p>\n

Heidi Ulys, supervising producer, added: ‘\u00a0Baby Farm\u00a0is our darkest [show] yet. It\u2019s a gripping, cinematic journey into a world few dare to explore. Yet, within the shadows, there is light \u2013 because storytelling has the power to reveal, to challenge, and to inspire change<\/p>\n

Baby Farm is available to stream on Netflix now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
