The first part of the series became quite popular earning over three-thousand upvotes, the 'liking' system on Reddit. The five other chapters also became a hot topic amongst those on the website.
This is the first Reddit story, or any well-popular communal network work of fiction, to be adapted from webpage to Netflix. With the author's brother behind the screenplay, and a production team already hard at work, this series will be the first of its kind for the streaming service.
