Investigative reporter Matt Katz has been searching for his biological father since he was a little kid. But it wasn't until his 40s that he realized he was on the wrong journey altogether. The true story is wrapped in confusion and secrecy, and in the end it upended the truth about who he is – raising questions about identity, fatherhood, medical ethics and what family really means. But will finding answers make him whole, or just make things even more complicated?

Hair dresser needs a thump

This is amazing but I can’t help but want to thump out the hair dresser in episode 6. He must have given an significant amount of sperm to feel this way. He’s totally demoralizing the entire situation. #littlebitch
