The Family Experiment is a chaotic, high-stakes social experiment that quickly spirals into betrayal, murder, and shocking revelations. Presented in a Black Mirror-esque format, it follows multiple couples competing to raise a child, with the highest-rated pair ultimately winning. The prize: keeping their AI child, or taking the money to raise their own child. Viewers engage through chat, statuses, and social media updates, which I especially enjoyed.
The Couples & Their Stories:
- Kitty & Rufus -
Rufus killed their meta child - Jaden & Selena –
Jaden spent all Salena’s money saved for IVF on gambling, and had multiple other kids while in a relationship with her - Woody & Tina –
Tina favored Belle and Woody favored Izzy, their child locked in their basement for almost murdering a classmate - Zoe & Dimitri –
Infamously sold their son, Adam, but he is revealed to be alive - Cadman & Gabrielle -
Camden is obsessesed with having Gabrielle for himself, and goes as far as to drugging him - Hudson –
Secretly Leo, ultimately kills “Hudson” (his previous identity) - Matteo –
Ends up being adopted by Cristoff and his wife, living a happy life
Some Events & Twists I liked
Rufus murdered his and his wife’s meta baby by shaking too hard Salena divorced Jaden (and he was later murdered), which led Malachi to be eliminated after she refused to continue with the experiment Cadman sold his parents’ house out from under them Izzy killed Belle, disguised as Tina through her avatar Cadman orchestrated their meta child, River, to receive Amazonite. River proceeds to sell it, resulting in another meta child’s death, which gets River eliminated Zoe and Dimitri sold their son, Adam, to child traffickers The grand finale pitted Dimitri, Zoe, and Hudson against each other, with viewers watching their final showdown Hudson won the experiment, but did not keep his meta child Alice

Very engaging, almost like I was a viewer of the Family Experiment as well. I found it surprising how nicely the ending was wrapped up. Pretty much no loose ends left. Seems uncommon these days.
