Martin shared the gifts he received from Netflix on the first day of shooting and said, "I want to make this the best season yet for you guys, because I wouldn't be there, none of us would be here, if it wasn't for you people that love the show and support the show. I am so grateful. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you...I hope we're going to make a ripper of a show for you this season. Stay tuned."
