Review of Baby M

Baby M (1988)
10/10
JoBeth Williams and John Shea were both great in their roles

I thought the miniseries "Baby M" told the story of the infamous custody case of Melissa Stern very well! JoBeth Williams captured Mary Beth Whitehead's look and flighty behavior extremely well! I also thought John Shea brought a sensitivity and likability to the somewhat boring Bill Stern. I thought all the other actors were wonderful as well! I thought the baby girls who all portrayed Sara/Melissa were all beautiful and took direction extremely well! I do think they should have shown Melissa's grandparents (Mary Beth's parents) going to court in the hopes of seeing their daughter's child. I was also looking for the actor who was going to play Dean Gould, but one never showed up. Despite these criticisms, I think "Baby M" is one the better child custody miniseries on TV.
