Watch Baby

Baby is a Netflix original series set in Rome, Italy that centers around a group of high school students as they navigate their adolescence while dealing with personal struggles and issues. The show, which premiered in 2018, stars Benedetta Porcaroli, Alice Pagani, and Riccardo Mandolini in the lead roles.

The series takes inspiration from the real-life scandal that occurred in 2013 in Rome, where a group of high school girls were found engaging in prostitution with a wealthy man. Baby explores the dark underbelly of teenage life, following a group of privileged young adults as they rebel against their controlling and threatening parents by living double lives in the world of sexuality, drugs, and prostitution.

The story revolves around the main protagonist of the series, Chiara (played by Porcaroli), who is a wealthy girl from a good family. However, she has a grim secret that she is keeping from everyone: she leads a double life as a high-class escort. Chiara sees this lifestyle as a way of punishing her parents for being unable to keep their marriage together.

Her best friend, Ludo (Pagani), who is an outspoken and fiesty character, soon finds out about Chiara's secret life and decides to follow her into this world of prostitution. Ludo comes from an entirely different background than Chiara, with her family barely making ends meet, and no knowledge of the life that her friend is living. However, Ludo sees it as an opportunity to escape her troubled family life and the constant pressure of maintaining her grades.

Alongside Chiara and Ludo are their male interests

Baby is a series that ran for 3 seasons (18 episodes) between November 30, 2018 and on Netflix
