I didn't think this was terrible, but I just couldn't get engaged. I felt that a writer said to him or herself, "Let's see. We'll take a lesbian couple who have a couple kids. An anonymous sperm doner. Make the kids curious about their roots. Have the sperm doner be a free spirit kind of guy. Pull the group together and see what happens. When it happens, I just don't care. I had a little trouble with the relationship that developed. It was too quick and too pat. Granted, there were symptoms of disarray, but still. Maybe another woman. Yes, I do know what bisexuals are, but we aren't given enough to know this is an issue. I suppose on a basic level of a lashing out against ennui would work. Anyway, I just felt uncomfortable and never got into it.
