Jogia spoke with TV Line about his role.

โ€œHeโ€™s a sexual astronaut, heโ€™s exploring. Sexuality is a spectrum, and he moves around it. He definitely has the realms in which heโ€™s most comfortable, but heโ€™s also down to try new stuff out. I like playing a character thatโ€™s asking a different question about sexuality, even blurring of the lines of sexuality. Itโ€™s not so cut and dry. We can explore many things all at the same time. There arenโ€™t enough characters doing that in movies or on TV.โ€

The show explores the damage that apps like Grindr and Tindr have inflicted on LAโ€™s already fragile dating scene. The show also features aliens.

One thing that Avan does know is that his sex scenes with Tyler Posey are definitely going to make the rounds of the internet.

โ€œWeโ€™re going to make the splash page of Pornhub, Iโ€™m sure. Some of those scenes are going to be up there, I can feel it. And weโ€™re going to be gifโ€™d
to death. The guys on this show have definitely been on other shows where theyโ€™ve been gifโ€™d and used in, like, Tumblr fantasies. So at least itโ€™s within a wheelhouse that weโ€™re all a little familiar with.โ€

The show delves into a lot of different aspects of sexuality.

โ€œAll of the sexuality on the show is joyful and celebrated and everyone has agency,โ€ Jogia says. โ€œThereโ€™s no darkness to the sexuality. We explore sexuality as a positive, not as this guilt-ridden threat that I think so much of American television and American cinema has. I was happy to be a part of a show that doesnโ€™t use sexuality for anything other than positivity and joy.โ€
