Today, Netflix released a new comedy-drama, Man vs. Baby. Man vs. Baby features Rowan Atkinson and was directed by David Kerr. After the success of Man vs. Bee (2022), Man vs. Baby replaced the raved buzzle-bustling with a dilemma of baby-rearing in a high-end city apartment. Atkinson leads a cast of excellent British actors who provide heart and humor to each performance. Atkinson's performance was praised by several viewers in Man vs. Bee. One IMDb user said,

"Rowan Atkinson. He is 65 years old and has a career of almost 40 years. And he's been number one since the early days of his career."

The two-hour show of Man vs. Baby consists of four half-hour episodes, which are easily bingeable and full of twists. Both slapstick and character comedy lovers will find the combination of physical jokes and touching narratives that Man vs. Baby is an entertaining watch.
