'Absolutely Haunting' crime thriller compared to The Handmaid's Tale rockets up Netflix charts - as viewers beg 'give us more like this please!'
Though it was released in Nigeria back in March, Baby Farm only became available on Netflix UK on June 20th 2025. The series follows young Adanna (Onyinye Odokoro), who falls pregnant out of wedlock. Faced by her parents' reprimanding attitude, she runs from home to find her boyfriend in Lagos, but instead, is seduced by an exploitative baby farming scheme called The Evans Foundation, masquerading as a benevolent NGO. The Evans Foundation is run by a pair of married British expatriates, who, living in Nigeria, exploit vulnerable pregnant women for profit. Adanna and her similarly imprisoned peers, including Ebun (Genoveva Umeh) and Emem (Ruby Akubeze), discover that at the heart of the Evans Foundation is a sinister operation with a hidden agenda. '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,' said Black Film Wire in their review. 'But it's Genoveva Umeh that left me cold. Her portrayal of Ebun isn't just haunting - it's the kind of performance that burrows under your skin and refuses to leave: layered, grounded, and absolutely haunting.' Other compared the show to dystopian hit The Handmaid's Tale, which sees women oppressed by a Christian theocracy and forced to carry babies for the rich and powerful amid a global fertility crisis. The Lagos-set series aims to highlight the reality of women trapped in exploitative baby factory institutions across the world. 'When I started to research (the script), it was very eye-opening and very horrific,' said Odokoro, in an interview with Arise. 'I believe that film has to make comments about what's happening in society. It is very important and very relevant.' This series is more than just a thriller – it's a powerful story rooted in real-life issues told through the lens of bold, cinematic African storytelling,' said the show's executive producer Mo Abudu. 'With breathtaking visuals, a gripping narrative and an outstanding cast and crew, Baby Farm will keep audiences on the edge of their seats while sparking vital conversations. We can't wait for the world to experience it.' Its popularity signals global momentum for Nollywood, as Baby Farm sparks impassioned conversation online. One fan said: 'This is giving me Handmaid's Tale and I am getting angry all over again.' Another chimed in: 'Baby Farm on Netflix gives me a Get Out vibe. 2 episodes in, and I'm unsettled. Who is the actress playing Nurse Bolade? She creeps me out.' 'Baby Farm left me absolutely impressed! The movie was fantastic! My favourite character was Ebun, I could really see how her childhood shaped her personality. 'Her goofiness was the bare minimum she classified as love, which was both heartbreaking and eye-opening,' one fan added. 'Just finished Baby Farm on Netflix! It was so good fr, yet it somehow flew under the radar,' someone else said. Its popularity signals global momentum for Nollywood, as Baby Farm sparks impassioned conversation online 'Meanwhile, some other movies with way less depth or weaker storytelling get all the hype just because they feature popular actors or because of social media buzz.' 'I just finished watching Baby Farm on Netflix. I didn't expect to, but I was gripped. Great storytelling. And Genoveva Umeh? That girl is a superstar,' one fan wrote. While another added: 'I know I'm late and that's cos Netflix finally pitied us but Baby Farm was so good! You people didn't talk about it enough.' Baby Farm is available to stream on Netflix.

New Hampshire lawsuit seeks to stop politicization of youth center abuse victims' fund
Lawyers representing hundreds of men and woman who claim they were abused at New Hampshire's youth detention center filed a class action lawsuit Friday seeking to prevent the independent administrator of the state's settlement fund for victims from being replaced with a political appointee. Lawmakers created the settlement fund in 2022, pitching it as a 'victim-centered' and 'trauma-informed' alternative to litigation that would be run by a neutral administrator appointed by the state Supreme Court. But the Republican-led Legislature changed that process through last-minute additions to the state budget approved Thursday and signed into law by Gov. Kelly Ayotte on Friday. Under the new provisions taking effect July 1, the governor will have the authority to hire and fire the fund's administrator, and the attorney general — also a political appointee — would have veto power over settlement awards. In affidavits filed with their complaint, the lead plaintiffs said the change amounts to a bait and switch that reignited the skepticism they initially felt about the settlement process but tried to put aside. 'I never would have shared the full story of what happened to me if I did not think I would be heard by someone impartial,' said a woman identified only as Jane Doe, who said she ran away from home to escape sexual abuse only to be further abused in state custody. 'I feel incredibly betrayed by the state's actions, but this is just the latest in a long list of betrayals by the state, so maybe I should not be surprised,' she said. 'This also makes me wonder whether the state will next betray the promise of confidentiality, because it seems like their word does not mean anything to them.' Another plaintiff, Andrew Foley, described being diagnosed with PTSD, not from his time as a combat soldier in Iraq but from the physical and sexual abuse he suffered as a child. 'As I understand it, the State will now decide for itself how much my claim is worth. That is the opposite of a fair process,' his affidavit said. 'As I always believed, the state cannot be trusted.' Neither Ayotte nor Attorney General John Formella responded to requests for comment Friday. More than 1,300 people have sued since 2020 alleging that they were physically or sexually abused in state custody as children, most of them at the Sununu Youth Services Center in Manchester. Only one case has gone to trial, resulting in a $38 million verdict, though the state is trying to slash it to $475,000. Two other cases have been settled for $10 million and $4.5 million. The state also has brought criminal charges against former workers, with two convictions and two mistrials so far. Many of the alleged victims put their lawsuits on hold and applied to the settlement fund, which caps payouts at $2.5 million. As of March 31, 296 cases had been settled, with an average award of $543,000, according to the most recently available statistics. The lawsuit filed Friday seeks a temporary restraining order to prevent the governor from firing the current administrator, former state Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick.

Six-year-old British boy is arrested on suspicion of DRUG SMUGGLING in Mauritius 'after £1.6million of cannabis is found in his luggage'
Airport officials swooped on a six-year-old British boy after £1.6million of cannabis was found in his luggage after arriving in Mauritius. The youngster was arrested alongside six other British citizens who had travelled to the tropical Indian Ocean island on Sunday. Customs officials at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport were stunned to discover 14 kilos of cannabis concealed in the young boy's bag and 17 kilos in luggage belonging to another individual. They have condemned the use of the child as a drugs mule as 'inhumane', according to The Sun. Altogether, 161 kilos of the drug were found hidden throughout several other suitcases. Eleven numbered Apple AirTags were also discovered, suggesting the operation may have been linked to an organised crime gang responsible for smuggling drugs from Europe to Mauritius. The six arrested British adults - all from Cambridgeshire - included Laura Kappen, 28, a bar worker from Orton Goldhay, Shannon Holness, 29, a caterer, from Bretton, Shona Campbell, 33, a cleaner from Standground, Lily Watson, a caterer from Peterborough and window fitter Patrick Wilsdon, 21, also from Peterborough. Romanian national, Florian Lisman, 38, a machine operator living in Huntingdon, was additionally arrested. The youngster has since returned to the UK with his father, who flew out to Mauritius to collect him. On Monday, the seven arrested men and women appeared in court in Mahébourg and remain in custody. The drugs were discovered as part of a joint operation between the Customs Anti-Narcotics Section (CANS) and the Anti-Drug & Smuggling Unit (ADSU) at the airport. Shocked relatives have said they 'can't believe what's happened' after being alerted to the arrests. Carly Wilsdon, mother of Patrick Wilsdon, said her son was 'vulnerable' and had only been abroad once before. It is believed he was offered a 'free holiday' to Mauritius. She said: 'He wouldn't have known what he was doing because he wouldn't get involved in drugs. 'The person who told them about this free holiday is one of his circle of friends but now he has disappeared.' The incident is the latest in a spate of British citizens arrested abroad accused of smuggling drugs, including former air stewardess Charlotte Lee, who was arrested in May in Sri Lanka, after £1.15million worth of cannabis was allegedly found in her luggage, and Bella May Culley, 18, who was intercepted by police in Georgia for allegedly smuggling cannabis. A Foreign Office spokesperson said: 'We are supporting several British nationals who are detained in Mauritius and are in contact with the local authorities.'
