The maker of the show, Eric Foster, while taking to Tudum, put out her opinion on the themes that the show touches upon.

“It takes a few decades as an adult to learn who you are and be smart enough to pick the right person,” said Foster.

The show will deal with complexities in a relationship due to diverse religious backgrounds Eric mentioned that

“the show is not making any political statements because I’m not the person to make that statement. I didn’t grow up Jewish, I converted as an adult. I wanted to tell a Jewish story but from an outsider’s perspective for someone who chose Judaism.”
