sitcom about sea turtles in Shanghai

Given the sheer number of sea turtles in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shengzhen, a dedicated sitcom about life of haigui would be very popular I'm sure. Many topics can be explored in this series that can draw lots of interest - cultural shock after coming back from overseas, swtiching from MNC to Chinese local company, office politics, life of overseas expats, shanghai girls dating westerners, startup in beijing, red-hot real estate market.. I haven't seen any Chinese sitcom that covers all these in one. Of course that doesn't say much as I've watched little TV programs from China. Heard the news that some people were working on a sequel to the then-famous Beijinian in New York fifteen years ago. So I'm not alone in thinking along this line. But the main character from that series has no education background in the US so it would not cut as a very convincing and representative sea turtle.
