Meaghan Oppenheimer, who is also the creator of "Tell Me Lies," shared her thoughts on their collaboration. She stated, "We really weirdly work very, very well together." This sentiment highlights the strong bond they share, both personally and professionally. Oppenheimer humorously noted that the show features many intimate scenes, saying, "I think it's funnier for other people because, spoiler, everyone is [undressed] on our show and he is as well." This candidness reflects their comfort level with each other, which is essential in a series that explores complex relationships.
Addressing the initial reactions from their colleagues, Oppenheimer mentioned, "And I think some people at first were like, ‘Is this weird for you guys?' And it's so not weird for us."

This mutual respect is vital in any partnership, especially in the demanding environment of television production.
Ellis further elaborated on the decision to work together, calling it a "no brainer." He acknowledged that some people might find it strange to work with a spouse, but he countered this notion by stating, "It's like, well, actually, it's strange that it isn't strange, I think is probably the best answer." This perspective sheds light on how their relationship enhances their work rather than complicates it.
