“I had this idea of three old men in a building. (…) When I spoke to Martin, he said to me: ‘you know, we are old’. And then Selena joined us, a brilliant idea” he said.
In addition to the public success, the series also debuted with critical success. She has 100% approval on the Rotten Tomato website, based on 69 published reviews. Selena Gomez was thrilled with the positive reception.
