The Netflix series, Man Vs Baby, starring global star, Rowan Atkinson, has created a lot of buzz. Rowan has impressed the audience and become a worldwide sensation with his comic role in the silent series, Mr. Bean. Man vs Baby is the follow-up to the 2022 series, Man vs Bee. Rowan has reprised his role as 'Travis Bingley'. For the unversed, the series hit the OTT giant platform on December 11, 2025. Now that the much-anticipated series has finally been released, let’s have a look at the review.
Man vs Baby brings 'Travis Bingley' back to the audience at the time of Christmas festivities. However, 'Travis' plan to enjoy the holiday time went downhill when his ex-wife, 'Jess', informed him that she and their daughter, 'Maddy', had been invited by her boyfriend on a trip. This time, 'Travis' has joined St. Aldwin’s School as a caretaker. But when nobody came to collect a baby on the last day of term, 'Travis' had to keep the little one with him. He also named the baby 'Jesus'. Soon, 'Travis' plan to spend a peaceful Christmas became chaotic as he struggled hard to change the nappies of baby 'Jesus'.
After 'Travis' discovered the abandoned baby from St. Aldwin’s School, he tried to hand him over to safe hands. But everything went in vain, as each time a chance comes to 'Travis', the naughty baby hides or disappears from the scene, making things more complicated for the former. Meanwhile, 'Travis' gets a lucrative offer to house-sit a lavish penthouse in London during Christmas.
Thus, he grabbed the offer as this was his only opportunity to arrange funds for his daughter’s studies. So, 'Travis' took the mischievous baby along with him and attended the interview for the penthouse-sitting. He got selected for the job. However, after getting the lucrative job, 'Travis' tried hard to manage both babysitting and house sitting at the same time. This made his Christmas celebration filled with drama and chaos.
In the 2022 series, Man vs Bee, 'Travis Bingley' was in charge of the high-tech mansion. Everything was going well until he encountered an irritating insect, a bee. In fact, in the 2022 series, there was a sequence in which 'Travis' could take her daughter, 'Maddy' for camping because of his job. The scene made the audience teary-eyed as somehow on the other hand, they connected with 'Travis' emotions.
However, the new sequel, Man vs Baby, will remind the audience of the 1994 cult classic, Baby’s Day Out. Rowan Atkinson has made a comeback with his role of 'Travis Bingley', and it is noteworthy to mention that he is the heart of both the comic series, Man vs Bee and Man vs Baby. This time, 'Travis' has a new set of challenges to deal with, which also needs utmost care. Baby 'Jesus' has also grabbed a lot of attention with his cute little mischiefs.
The scenes in which 'Travis Bingley' and 'Baby Jesus' are featured, humour and emotion creep in silently. At the end of Man vs Baby, the audience will experience suspense as 'Travis Bingley' sets out on a journey to find the lost baby and will also try hard to save Christmas. However, later things end on a happy note with 'Travis Bingley' enjoying Christmas with his family and more.
After looking at every aspect of the comic series, Man vs Baby, we can say that it is worth watching. The series comprises 4 episodes, with under 30 to 40 minutes. This short miniseries with Rowan Atkinson as the protagonist makes Man vs Baby a must-watch.
