You know, everyone has the one that got away.

And I was like, well, what if Sian, the one that got away, have their whole entire episode together?

Yeah, we try and flip the series the whole time.

And, you know, there's a spy thriller episode, there's a romantic comedy, there's a kind of surreal episode.

There's one that's almost like the Bond gala, you know, like James Bond turns up at the kind of, you know, black tie event and everything.

Hijinks ensues.

You know, we've got that.

We've got all these different flavors and we've got an Eid episode as well.

You know, I felt like we've got Christmas episodes, Thanksgiving episodes.

I want to have an Eid episode.

And so we very deliberately trying to layer in and thread.

multiple different genres because honestly i feel like my life takes place in different genres i feel like right now i'm here you know lucky me you know pretending to be all clever talking talking to you guys on fresh air and i'm gonna walk outside and slip on a banana peel and like fall flat on my face and suddenly i'm in a slapstick you know um and it's like i we wanted to have that multiplicity that tonal whiplash um

because honestly, that's just what I enjoy.

And I felt like if I can make something that's a full meal, that is a romance and a spy thriller and a family drama, but overall a comedy, then I can also just solve a very personal problem, which is me and my wife squabbling over what we're going to watch.

You know, let's get in there and try and do it all.

Oh, thank you.

That means the world to me.

It's interesting you say it can't be explained in one line because throughout the whole process...

We struggled with that.

Right.
