The series has had two seasons (2022 and 2024), each with six episodes.
Nana, a fertility doctor, learns that she has only six months before she will no longer be able to conceive a child. After a drunken night of revelry at her clinic, she steals a sperm sample belonging to her ex-boyfriend, Matthias, who was storing it in the clinic's sperm bank, and uses it to impregnate herself without Matthias' knowledge. Nana learns that she is pregnant. She now has to contend with her professional duties, keep her condition secret and deal with the guilt over her actions and the lies this involves. She sets about trying to win back Matthias, who appears uninterested in her advances.
Danish newspaper Dagbladet Information called season one the best Danish comedy in years, comparing it to Insecure and Fleabag . [4]
