Special

This series was absolutely amazing. Sometimes it made me upset and sometimes made me laugh but taught me a lot of things by the way. I literally felt all episodes inside me. Additionally episodes were very short and so didn't bother me. I felt a liitle bit sad when I heard the season 2 was the last season but ok. Masterpieces must be short :). If i want to mention about casting, it was also marvelous but my favourite character was Kim :). Thanks to all crew for this beautiful series.

Love the concept, as I stated MUCH needed and desired representation of living with disabilities. Show was pretty good but so much is lost in the vapid characters. Really wish there was more depth. Maybe it's an accurate portrayal of life in LA but the focus on nonsense was useless to me.

I wanted to love this show SO BAD. LGBTQ+ and disability representation? Sign me up! The story was nice and it was a good show, but it left a lot to be desired. The dialogue and some of the acting felt quite stilted and unrealistic. The humor didn't appeal to me which isn't necessarily a critique because folks have different senses of humor, but I would have liked to laugh more. It was really sweet and I'm excited for the next season, but I really wish it could have stepped it up a bit.

I read the book this show is based on a few years ago and it is HILARIOUS. 'Special' by Ryan O'Connelly who plays himself on the show. If you like the Netflix version, read the book too. My only complaint is the show is too short. 15 minutes an episode?? WTF.

Title aside i really liked this series-- love the entire cast, love the writing, love the unflinching look at ALL facets of romance from LGBTQ to later in life etc. One thing that irked me was the terrible whiny baby attitude of the main character even though I understand that that's the whole point, just like with Lena Dunham in Girls. But just like with Dunham i dont have to LIKE the main character at all or even a little to appreciate the smart setup around them.
