My Take on the DVD
I saw the trailer for this show but never actually watched it so I was excited to watch it for myself to see what I was missing. What I liked best about this show was that it incorporates characters and issues about being deaf into the show itself. Too often these days you do not see deaf characters in shows so the deaf culture in America remains invisible. I commend this show for bringing this into the show. Outside of this though I found the characters to be completely believable and the plot of the story was engaging and entertaining. You will find that the messages with the show are family friendly and that it does get into issues of relating adoption as well as family values, parenting and unconditional love. It was a great show and I hope that it continues in the future.
