Expecting is an original series from UP TV that presents a unique take on the themes of pregnancy, parenthood, and relationships. The show follows the story of two couples who discover that they are expecting a child and the twists and turns that their lives take as they navigate the challenges and joys of parenthood.

The first couple is made up of Sarah (played by Lora Burke) and Seth (played by Joel Axler), who are high school sweethearts and have been together for years. They are thrilled when they discover they are pregnant but soon learn that their journey to becoming parents may not be as smooth as they had hoped. Sarah is a perfectionist who wants everything to be just right, while Seth is more laid back and enjoys going with the flow. As they prepare for the arrival of their baby, they must balance their differing views on parenting and learn to work together as a team.

The second couple is made up of Jenna (played by Mercede Lahnide) and Charlie (played by Matt Clarke), who are in their late twenties and recently got married. They had not planned on having a baby so soon after their wedding but are excited nonetheless. As they prepare for the baby's arrival, they must navigate the challenges of blending their families and dealing with the strained relationships that exist between some of their relatives.

Expecting portrays the joys and difficulties that come with pregnancy and parenthood in an honest and relatable way. The show tackles a broad range of topics, from dealing with morning sickness and choosing the right stroller to navigating complex family dynamics and making difficult decisions about parenting. Throughout it all, the show emphasizes the importance of communication, compromise, and support in building strong and healthy relationships.

One of the standout features of Expecting is the strong performances from the cast. Lora Burke and Joel Axler give nuanced and authentic performances as a couple learning to navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy and parenthood together. Mercede Lahnide and Matt Clarke also shine as newlyweds who must adapt to the unexpected challenges that come with becoming parents. All four actors bring a naturalness and relatability to their roles that makes the show engaging and easy to invest in.

Another highlight of the show is its production values. The series is shot in a documentary-style format that adds a sense of realism and immediacy to the storytelling. The camera work is raw and unpolished, giving the impression that the show is capturing real-life moments as they happen. This style of production allows the show to explore the emotional and physical journey of pregnancy and parenthood in a way that feels true to life.

Overall, Expecting is a heartwarming and engaging series that explores the many facets of pregnancy and parenthood in a relatable and authentic way. The show's emphasis on communication, compromise, and support makes it a valuable resource for anyone embarking on the journey of parenthood. With its strong performances, engaging storytelling, and unique production style, Expecting is a must-watch for anyone looking for a fresh take on this often-told story.
