The show was one of a slate of 12 new shows added by The Huffington Post in 2015 as part of their strategy of video expansion under AOL New Front; site founder Arianna Huffington cited the riots in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray as an example of the kinds of solution-based situations Duffy's program would address, criticizing existing coverage as creating "copycat crimes instead of copycat solutions."[4] Duffy describes the show as having a two-act structure, first exploring a global problem, then a second act exploring the solution and a character-driven depiction of the people working on the solution.[5]
