Down for Love

People with Down Syndrome are competent adults who can and should find love like anyone else. This series shows their abilities, not just their disability. They have the same rights and should have the same opportunities as any other adult. To the parent of a toddler with DS who panned the show and insisted on people with DS being forever treated like children, shame on you and I fear for your child as the child grows into becoming an adult. I work for a nonprofit that advocates for the rights of all people with disabilities to be treated the same as anyone without disabilities and this show is sorely needed to humanize people with Down Syndrome to the general public. This series was incredible and is a must watch for everyone.

I love wholesome shows that also help educate the world on a minority group. Love on the Spectrum was a great example of this. Down for Love is another great show that succeeds in this. I loved the whole season and cannot wait for more. There were many funny moments that I shared with friends as well. Carlos was such a sweet, romantic, and funny part of the cast. I also got the warmest feeling in my heart watching Lily's bowling date. I need to see more of these sweet people living with Down's syndrome. Netflix, please create more shows on people living with disabilities, the world loves to watch them!

Get your tissues out or let the tears dry on your face. I am compelled to these genuine guys & girls in search of love.

There are moments that instantly hit my heartsrings & make me assess my own personal relationship.

Carlos's love for Aelinor is as pure & honourable as anyone could give.

He has set the new standard in romance that we can only aspire to.

Shakespeare , Casanova ,Steinbeck & Marcus Aurelius combined would struggle to match his prose.

Sorry to all the lovely lovely people in these 5 episodes, & I hope they all find happiness, but Carlos is Cupid himself.

& he doesn't need a bow & arrow.

He has Aelinor & he is her French God of love .

Also in Romeo mythology (see what I did there) Carlos is the son of Aphrodite & Ares with a bit of Tzatziki sauce specially reserved for Aelinor.

For the reviews saying this show is exploitation of people with Down syndrome, I say that is a lot of absolute rubbish. This first series (and hope there are more to come) is genuine and heart warming and it has lessons for all of us.

You follow the story of several people with Down syndrome whilst looking for love.

I actually was reminded of what is the most important thing in life whilst watching this show and that is love.

I loved getting glimpses into their family life and feeling the excitement of them going on their first date and hoping it would go well for them.

Like everyone in life if you take the time to listen, they have lessons to teach us and I definitely felt them and listened. These singles were full of wisdom. I really hope we get another season as I was absolutely invested in their love.

This series is a big eye-opener for many people with, and without Down Syndrome. It displayes both strength and weakness in the path to finding love, no matter what you 'have' or who you are. Just like every human being.

The common public view on Down Syndrom needs an update, and educate people. Many people treat these persons as children. They are very capable of having relationships. They are not children, and want to practice their adult life in real life, like anyone else. Also, the focus on parents with their children with Down Syndrome, is a very welcome and educational part. No one has a syndrome or disease alone.

The only aspect that irritated me was the narrator's voice. It may be just me, but I think the voice is exaggerated and more suited to a nature documentary.
