"Viewers are in for a ride! Eric has grown significantly. This season is so well-written and layered that every decision he makes feels authentic and grounded. Audiences will be taken on a journey, witnessing how and why Eric makes certain choices. His growth will keep viewers glued to the screen as the story comes full circle."

Thabiso Rammusi told Briefly News journalist, Moroba Maepa, that he did not see the show becoming as big as it has:

"We didn’t expect it to go beyond one season. The nature of our industry is unpredictable; nothing feels certain until contracts are signed. But we were hopeful.

He believes that a major contributor to the show's success was its relatability:

"It resonates because it’s relatable. Its storytelling offers a fresh perspective on how men experience life, their struggles and internal battles in today’s world.
