It was funded by Film Victoria and launched on Network Ten in Australia. There was backlash at the show's United States premiere on The Hub (now Discovery Family) when it was seen as a show about a transgender child. Romeo San Vicente states, "Technically that makes him a situational transvestite in the service of law and order and, clearly, young audiences are already understanding that it no more makes the character transgender (a word most of them have probably never encountered) than the Batman costume turns Bruce Wayne into an actual flying mammal of the order chiroptera."
