Special

This series starts off a bit awkwardly but rewards patience by evolving into a sweet, addictive story with characters I want to see more from. As a viewer I found it incredibly refreshing to get a different perspective from voices I almost never see represented in TV and film. This is exactly the sort of story I want more of. I'm sick of culture and media that has such a narrow focus on characters I can't relate to, but which producers seem to think we want to see because they tick off certain physical and demographic boxes. It's so much more interesting for me to see representations of real people from different segments of the population. This series isn't good because the central character has CP, it's good because it's genuine, and it's genuine because it presents a character whose life experience is a bit different, yet so relatable. The show isn't about his CP, but his CP is part of what makes the show real and intimate and human. I am really looking forward to season 2, and I hope they expand it a bit because my one complaint is that it was too short.

Can I just say... this show is so genuine and great! The episodes are short and simple, easy to binge watch! I love the whole cast and storyline. WHERE IS SEASON 2?!

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.

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'm so glad there is a second season, I really enjoy this show. It's heartfelt, silly, brings awareness to the disability and Lgbtq community, and overall enjoyable for me personally!
