Sorry, Baby

Right now you can watch Sorry, Baby in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and YouTube TV, and in the UK on MUBI — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. With 313 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Eva Victor sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on HBO Max Amazon Channel whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Sorry, Baby keeps coming up in conversation. Sorry, Baby does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Agnes feels stuck. Unlike her best friend, Lydie, who’s moved to New York and is now expecting a baby, Agnes still lives in the New England house they once shared as graduate students, now working as a professor at her alma mater. A ‘bad thing’ happened to Agnes a few years ago and, since then, despite her best efforts, life hasn’t gotten back on track. Between them, Eva Victor and Naomi Ackie carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Sorry, Baby came out in 2025. Sorry, Baby earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Sorry, Baby is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Eva Victor's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
