Trying

ComedyDramaRomance28 min per episode

Nikki and Jason want a baby, but after learning they can’t conceive, they turn to adoption and discover how many strangers suddenly get a say in their lives. Social workers inspect their home, friends and family weigh in, and every form, interview, and awkward visit forces the couple to prove they’re ready for parenthood. What begins as a simple plan becomes a maze of rules, setbacks, and emotional swings, as they try to stay close while everything around them tests their confidence. Rafe Spall and Esther Smith anchor a story about a couple building a family one uncomfortable step at a time.
