Episode 1 • Feb 28, 2021

A promise

The first episode tells the story of how the late Dr. Karbaat became the most renowned fertility doctor in the Netherlands. At the time, Karbaat was regarded a progressive pioneer, as he not only helped heterosexual couples, but also gay couples and single mothers. Former patients, mothers of "Karbaat children", discuss their longstanding wish for a child, and how it made them close their eyes to an often horrific and unbearable insemination treatment, which in cases included sexual intimidation and even abuse. Decades later, Karbaat is sued based on the suspicion he used his own semen to inseminate his patients. A month before the trial, the doctor passes away.

Episode 2 • Mar 07, 2021

Offspring

The second episode shows how the Karbaat children deal with this newly gained genetic and emotional heritage once the news was out. The episode centers around the nature vs. nurture debate. The children meet each other for the first time and share conflicting feelings, on the one side experiencing belonging and recognition, while on the other, also fear of inheriting genetic family traits from their biological father. Two real-life family members of doctor Karbaat give us more insight on who Karbaat was as a person and talk about his background, upbringing and character.

Episode 3 • Mar 14, 2021

Liquid Love

The third episode LIQUID LOVE tells the story behind the exceptional motivation of Karbaat's favorite sperm donor who yearned for immortality by producing over 200 donor children. Viewers learn that Karbaat was highly unselective with his donors and even worked with donors with genetic diseases. The first international Karbaat child is found and meets the group in the Netherlands. More and more cases of doctors inseminating their own semen have come and still come to light, making it a more prevalent event than one may have thought.
