Our take by The Staff

This is the type of show where you will laugh your ass off in one scene, and then find yourself moved to tears in the next. It’s so heartfelt, so smart, and so, so well-written. The premise of the show is the revelation of a Nobel laureate that he used his own semen in his trailblazing research on fertilization. This prompts his daughter to search for her unknown siblings. She is stuck with two particularly interesting sisters, one of whom is a lawyer who tries to sue their father. One additional plus for me personally is the Australian accent. I love it in a comedy/drama, ever since I watched The Let Down on Netflix.

What happens

A woman's life is turned upside down when she finds out her father used his sperm in a number of IVF procedures, leading her to track down her newly discovered siblings.

  1. I just found it so difficult to imagine a father being important. Perhaps if I stayed on it would have become more about the sisters.
