明迪说她“总是高兴和惊讶”系列的数以百万计的人产生共鸣,因为它“似乎如此具体。”She continued, "When a story like that resonates all over the world, in Bulgaria and Ukraine and Brazil, it's life-affirming. We underestimate audiences. They want to hear about other people outside of their own life, as long as the stories feel honest."
明迪还共享,她不想做一个“90年代的怀旧片。”She revealed that "writing for teenagers is really fun and very terrifying, because, first of all, it's very ephemeral. They have short attention spans, so we write the show and then it comes out a couple months later, and you're like, 'Ah, I hope that it feels fresh.'"
