Special

Like most of the reviewers here I felt like the dialogue was super weird along with the cut-ins. It was funny how alot of the characters apart from Ryan (the lead) were more enjoyable in general.

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.

Never in my life have I watched an entire 8 episode season of any show this fast. Largely due to the 15 minute episodes, but also because of a sweet, innocent yet brave and somewhat selfish main character and his crew.

The series is very lovely, funny and looks real. How can it not look real? As I found out between episodes 4 and 5, the guy who plays the main character actually is him. Ryan wrote, produced and starred in "Special", which is actually based on his own life being a gay man with CP.

The only downside for me about this show was the fact that it was too short. 8 episodes of 15 minutes, that's only 2 hours! You can't really get in depth into the characters or use the whole potential of the funny moments and situations, which could be so much better with a bit more screen time. Anyways, at least it shouldn't take long till season two as it won't be too hard to get another 2 hours on tape.

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.

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.
