    One of those docuseries you watch through splayed fingers.

    Because the series is so one-sided and speculative, The Man With 1000 Kids has to be seen with a bit of jaundiced eye. But that doesn’t keep us from being fascinated at the results of what happens when one man feels the need to donate his sperm everywhere he can.

    It is a strange and fascinating story of a man who was apparently so blinded by self-love he thought he was doing the world a favour.

    While the numbers might not be completely accurate, in terms of appealing to an audience weaned on sensational titles like “The Tinder Swindler” and similar fare, this feels right on target.
