Lovesick creator: We were actually behind the decision to change our name from Scrotal Recall

Entertainment Weekly

Creator Tom Edge said they asked Netflix if viewers found the Scrotal title off-putting, “and they found that the majority of people wouldn’t recommend it to friends and family because it would involve saying the word ‘scrotal’ out loud. In terms of word of mouth, this seemed problematic, to say the least, and because it was Netflix, and we knew that they would be able to tell people who loved the first season that it still existed, but in new garb, we figured that it might be a wise decision to change it. I think we still have maybe five percent of our viewers who think we threw away the greatest title of all time, but I think most people are quietly relieved to be able to tell their grandparents what they watched this weekend without curling up and wanting to die.”
