It's rare that I ever give a movie or series a 10 but this one deserves it for so many reasons.

The material, the screenplay, the acting, direction, cinematography, locations etc etc ... It is so raw and real you forget at times that it's not a documentary. I love the camerawork because it's so simple and classic. It classically tells the story without gimmicks or trying to impress or be trendy.

We get to see the good and the bad in each character as they peel back the layers of their relationships with themselves and eachother. Their characters build and grow naturally. Nothing seems forced. Nothing seems to be gratuitous. You forget a crew dressed each set and clothed and made up all these people. Such a large ensemble cast .. each with their own individual style.

The special needs children are amazing and it's obvious they all grew to be genuinely close friends by the way they interact. That's a lot of children to wrangle on a set at the best of times let alone those children dealing with disabilities.

I could have kept watching it for hours longer. I was so invested in these characters I felt a little bit disappointed when it just abruptly stopped!! Kinda like the ending of season one of 'Dead To Me' it just ends on a massive cliffhanger but I wasn't upset. Nor did I feel cheated. It was so realistic and totally believable. I can only hope there's going to be a season two.

This Netflix drama is a heartfelt look at the struggles and triumphs of mothers raising children with disabilities. The story follows Kama, an MMA fighter learning to accept her son's autism, and her connections with other parents facing similar challenges. The performances are raw and moving, especially from Masza Wagrocka, who captures Kama's toughness and vulnerability.

The series balances emotional moments with hope, showing the strength of families adapting to unique situations. It's beautifully realistic and deeply touching, offering a fresh perspective on parenting and resilience. A must-watch for heartfelt storytelling.

I loved this would be...! I look forward to the second season...you see the human side of how many times as mothers reject a diagnosis because they are not prepared to receive it and how difficult it is to move forward without support or without having a network to accompany you. The external world is the most difficult thing because of ignorance many times people reject children because of their condition is the hardest thing in life, it takes a lot of inclusion on this issue. I recommend it 100%. Hopefully more seasons to make us see how the reality of this issue is, I loved the series. You can see it... you will love it.
