Is this supposed to be a drama-thriller? Cause I saw zero thriller in it. Although that's probably for the best, cause the ending was everything I can hope for in a movie. After all, everyone loves a happy ending. Two friends pitted against each other because some human error at the lab? And then they reached a peaceful resolution and finally redeemed their friendship back? Oh, it's so beautiful that I added another star for my final rating! I haven't seen an ending this satisfying in quite some time. If you like family drama, I recommend this one for you.

Plot summary
Skyler Samuels ("Scream Queens") plays Olivia Crawford, who, after multiple miscarriages and various failed rounds of in vitro fertilization, finally becomes pregnant with twins with husband Brian (Bo Yokely). During her successful IVF process she meets Anna Ramirez (Justina Machado),who is similarly struggling to conceive, but once she also becomes pregnant, she bonds with Olivia as they celebrate their happy news. Anna eventually suffers a miscarriage, and her marriage to her husband Gabe (Yancey Arias) deteriorates. The twist: When Olivia gives birth to her twins, they discover that not only are the two babies not twins, but one is biologically Anna and Gabe's, implanted into Olivia by accident. The two women become at odds, as Olivia aims to keep the baby she carried and gave birth to, while Anna fights to bring her biological son home.

Pitted Before Redeemed
Decent Moral Dilemma watch
I like to catch these moral dilemma shows from time to time. If I'm being honest, Skyler Samuels lured me in, otherwise I probably would have skipped over this.. She was great in The Gates, 9 Lives of Chloe King, The Gifted. Anyway.. the actual moral dilemma part of this story is pretty good, including the reactions, despair, hardships and the thought provoking concepts. I was onboard with that, except for the obvious flaw of trying to insert mixed race into the narrative which served no purpose other than to dilute the issue and insert implausibility into what could have been a little more compelling. It seemed like it was only put in story to sway your mindset to be one-sided (whether rightly so or not). Unfortunately, that induces a gimmicky taste, when it didn't need to. A pretty fair one-time watch if you like moral dilemma demonstrations (and Skyler Samuels).
Good
TV14 but still fairly family friendly. Great for the whole family, I don't remember no foul language and no nudity. Yes I recommend this one. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 3/5/2022.
