Review of The Surrogacy

The Surrogacy (2023– )
2/10
Missed opportunities and inaccurate science
24 June 2023
For a series that felt on one level like a cautionary tale about surrogacy, you would think the writers would at least have done some basic research( middle school biology). There was one continuous comment about the embryo splitting to twins which could only result in identical twins..but the twins are obviously not identical( a boy and a girl). The characters discussing this would have had basic knowledge of this. I ended up fast forwarding through most of the episodes but gave up after I realized after getting to 10 that I wasn't even halfway through. The series needs some serious editing to make it into a tolerable cheesy soap opera. On the positive, unlike other reviewers, I did like the lead actress. There was some other side plots/discussions about indigenous culture and racism that could have been interesting but given my wariness of the writers credibility on other topics, I couldn't trust them on this either. In summary, lots of missed opportunities.
