Some of the things we learn in this 60+ word description is that hearing people still see Deaf people as exotic, often sexualize Deaf people, and still wax lyrical over the ‘vividness’ of Deaf people’s language without learning it. Or am I wrong?

Also, the writer could really benefit from brevity. The whole first sentence could be eliminated leaving space for Deaf actors’ actual names and whatnot, and the second sentence could start with “We learn....”

Plus, if it’s a universal thing is it still an obsession or a basic human need? But that’s another discussion-unless we want to go there and say from a certain lens basic human needs in an ‘unusual’ group *is* perceived as obsession.

Still, I’m hoping people watch this show and learn from and about the vast range of Deaf people. I just hope they do it without their mental Overton window already fixing on some modern, stereotyped nonsense version of Sarah Norman from Children of a Lesser God.
