The show explores Morrison's experiences with grief, queer identity and a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Kenworthy told TNT Sports that the show is "really funny, it's really heartfelt, it's moving - it's his story about loss and resilience"."
"He recalled of his own experiences with loss: "When I was 14 I was in an accident with two of my best friends and my best friend was killed. "I felt like it really resonated with me, and I have felt loss too, so I was deeply, deeply moved by it." Kenworthy won silver at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 and also competed in PyeongChang (2018) competing for the US. He took part in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing for Team GB."
