I absolutely love this show; the cast is talented and I love that this show features people affected by hearing loss and the challenges/misconceptions about people with a "disability". It's not every day that you see such strong lead characters portrayed as having a disability and being accepting of it! It's so refreshing to see such a positive portrayal...and I say this as a legally blind person. Love the show, the storyline, and the incredible cast!
