Would this make a good TV series (mild spoiler)?


Seems to me the middle of the movie, when he decides to be an anonymous guardian angel to his kids, could easily be the basis for an episodic TV series. Different kid each week. Different life lesson for the dad.

Your proposed TV series sounds somewhat similar to MY NAME IS EARL, with the list of unknowing people that the 'hero' has pledged to help, to try to rectify his past actions towards them (in this case, fathering them). Anyway, looking forward to seeing STARBUCK.



Multiplex: 100+ shows a day, NONE worth watching. John Sayles' latest: NO distribution. SAD.

It actually super similar to an Argentine television series: El Donante / The Donor.
Bruno, unbeknownst to him, has 144 kids via artificial insemination and after one shows up, they look for the others.
It's a good show! You can watch it on dramafever latino with subtitles or on the telefe site without.
So yeah, it is a good show.

There's a TV show on right now called Seed which is pretty much exactly that.
