couple of things I didn't get


This was really good, I stayed up last night binge watching when I should of been sleeping. First thing I didn't understand was in the first episode, the blonde girl from the first scene wearing headphones, why did she show up at the end of the episode?

Second thing I wondered about was the fast walking guy with the bad teeth and brown brief case, can't remember which episode, well was he the same guy in the woman's home in the crib upstairs? Right at the end of the episode that adult baby grrrr'd at the camera and it looked like the same guy?

Would recommend this series, lots of fun with a pinch of sick.

Wondering the same thing.. Didn't get episode 3.

In the first episode, I think it was just out of chronological order... so the beginning of the episode actually happens after the end.

I was confused by episode 3... watched it a few times. Yeah it was the same guy with the teeth in the crib and the beginning... At the beginning of the episode, both him and the other guy in the suit are going to the company "Baby Medco"... then later on "Mrs. Beal" gets a call from "Baby Medco" on the iphone... I assume to tell her her son has died? As far as I can figure..... the son is some kind of monster (frankenstein?) or machine that can't die... He didn't die after the accident... and after he flatlined, his heart started beating again... so I assume when he "dies" it's part of his reparation process. were those bottles holding oil or urine? I think it was cooking oil... maybe the son needs oil to get fixed? I assume at the end of the episode, when the mother is putting all the toys away, the man with the teeth has fully recovered and isn't in the crib any more.


Maybe this is explained further in later episodes? probably not.

Ah, I totally missed that connection, guess I was pretty sleepy by then. I need to watch it again to figure out what the bottles were, I had assumed it was urine but had no idea why they were all around the house. One of my favourite stories was the organ donation in the first episode, lol poor guy! Thanks Fearless.

The organ donation in the first episode- what scene was that?
Was it the scene where the guy gets pushed into the locker? Because I'm actually pretty confused about that scene connects to the other scenes or episodes, so could someone explain that scene to me please :)

With the crib scene, I had a interpretation in mind, I thought that the babysitter/crib scene occured first (I assumed that the call that the mother got from BabyMedco was about the "baby" probably having to go in). Then the race scene would have occurred and I remember the lawyer saying something about the client- now this could be open to anyone but I theorised that the 'client' was actually the "baby" itself. Why he would go there by himself is something that stumped me though.
Then the silk satisfaction scene lastly- that was pretty messed up woo!

Each episode starts with an inexplicable murder or crazy event. Then, the show goes back in time and shows you the seemingly disconnected (often related) events that led up to the opening scene. Some of them are only moderately connected, but some are the direct lead-up. That's why you see the same people at the end that you saw in the first scene.



Movies are IQ tests. The IMDB boards are each person's opportunity to broadcast their score.

The first scene with the blonde chick is actually one of the last scenes to happen chronologically.
**Spoiler alert: We see the blonde dies after getting stabbed by the hooded individual. We find out in the later episodes that the hooded person is the antisocial programmer girl who seems to have a dual-personality complex.

And yeah the guy with the bad teeth is the same as the man in the crib. He seems to have a twisted mother who gives him unconventional medical treatment. Also, we see that he is aware of the webcam, which probably indicates he is a regular darknet user, and is therefore likely dangerous
