'Deaf U' Review: Has this deaf-led Netflix series made the right impact?
Show Notes

Episode 86 - If you have access to Netflix, there is a new and somewhat groundbreaking new series where the cast are entirely led by alums of Gallaudet University, the world's first and only university specifically catered for deaf and hard of hearing students, based in Washington D.C.

This is an opportunity to show the world how diverse, expressive, beautiful but also complex, deep and perhaps intensive deaf community can be.

But has the series managed to portray that in a positive way that can make a positive and lasting impact, or did it focus too much on being a typical reality TV show, albeit more deaf-focused?
