Baby Boom on TF1: motherhood between documentary and reality TV
In the coming weeks, TF1 will broadcast a new reality TV show. But there are not stars and celebrities, or real-life stars, everyday heroes who work in silence in the strictest anonymity. These heroes are future parents, babies ready to be born and all the caregivers of the maternity of the Poissy Saint Germain Hospital, which are at the center of Baby boom, the new TF1 program.
A reality TV in a maternity ? In fact, not quite. We will be more precisely in a "documentary of the real"As Angela Lorente likes to point out, 40 cameras have been integrated into several movie theaters. maternity to film, for 20 days, moments of happiness, doubt, fear, waiting, in short, "the magic of life"As the director of reality TV shows on TF1, the idea for the show, inspired by a British concept that hits the mark on Channel 4, is to follow deliveries, to show births as they happen in France, with all the stories they contain. The 40 cameras merged discreetly into the walls of the maternity without voyeurism, far from the sensational deliveries that one has the opportunity to see in movies or American series.
No, nothing is romanticized in Baby boom, but the winks to the hospitable series that make the beautiful hours of the TV for ten years are numerous. Because it's not only babies and their future parents who are at the center of the program, the health care team is also doing well. Immersion in the staff room, little stories between colleagues, great moments of union with future moms; midwives, caregivers, nurses, anesthetists (among others) are at the heart of this anthill of life. The whole rhythm as one of us series we love, with background music canon and voiceover particularly identifiable since it is the French voice of Ellen Pompeo in Gray's Anatomy!
The characters follow one another, of the teenager aged 16 who will give birth to his first child, to the impatient couple of the birth of their long-desired twins ... And as before a series, we inevitably get attached. We smile, we even laugh, and we sometimes cry too, because after all Baby-Boom is life.
