    Some shows have premises that are a little hard to swallow, as it is with this show.
    Three families find out the identity of their sperm donor and actually meet him.
    What are the odds that all those families would want to bond with him and even let him into their families? Exactly. If that's too silly for you, then stay away. I managed to look over this main flaw because the cast

    I managed to look over this main flaw because the cast is likable, the episodes
    are entertaining and funny enough, and I like the refreshing lack of stupidity.
    The show is comfortable with what it is and doesn't struggle to be anything more.
    It's light fun that doesn't take itself too seriously and in this case it's enough for me

    The show is great because it highlights the diversity of modern day families and the interesting ways that families can function. It has a similar tone to some early 2000's sitcoms like Reba, with a lesson of the day kind of vibe. The show often dives head first into the silly, borderline slapstick, comedy, but also has a romcom style throughout.

Seed has a simple premise with a lot of promise, a not-a-family man sperm donor becomes a part of two unique families after the children he (unknowingly) helped produce pull him into their lives, with a potential third child on the way things are complicated. I wish it had a third season. Expand

    Little happens in the two episodes I've seen that could not be mathematically extrapolated from the premise.... yet it works pretty well. The actors are generally charming.

    Seed has a solid sitcom foundation, but suffers from limited ambition and a complete lack of promotion that makes it feel like a low priority for the network.

    [The cast are] all quirky, setting up an endless stream of mix-and-match jokes that don’t seem interested in going much of anywhere.
