Production
Mister 8 was produced by Jani Pösö, Laura Kuulasmaa (Elisa Viihde), and Maria Sekikirkina. The series was shot in black-and-white because Nikki wanted to "create a unique universe" and make it "stand out from the crowd". Principal photography took place during the autumn of 2019 and filmed in Helsinki.
Episodes
The English titles are from SBS On Demand.

Reception
Pramit Chatterjee of High On Films wrote a positive review about Mister 8 for being outside the norm of traditional romance stories and how it tackles polyamory. J.A. Kaunisto of Mesta.net wrote that the series is "strange and distortorted" but also "teasing and thought-provoking" and gives "pointed underlines and painful observations about the behaviour of city people of the 21st century" while Nikki and co-writer Vesa Virtanen do not provide explainations.
