Deaf U

The title is misleading in that it's supposed to be a documentary on the deaf college life. But this entire series is on dating. College is not all dating. What about your major, your job, your goals, etc...?

I couldn't finish the entire series because it was getting tiresome dealing with the topic of dating.

After watching a few episodes, it was great, and then the interview part is significant, too, because they show their real feelings and struggles. But it went off track and heavily focused on one person, Alexa. As for others, they indeed show their emotion and being real, but sadly they are put aside for one person, Alexa. It's on the production team to make it better, and those people involved in it deserve the same attention. Hopefully that the production team will improve on this issue next season.

I thought it would be a wholesome dating show. But it ended up like jersey shore.

Not really my thing.

There wear some interesting storylines but you didn't really get to see it.

It was all about Alexa's wild adventure. She was a little to full of herself...

People expecting this to be a typical documentary series are bound to be a little disappointed. This was clearly catered to a hearing audience to bring in more ratings and hopefully more seasons. However, reality TV bashing aside, it was a great show. It was fun, fast paced, and a little emotional. All of the cast members are so relatable, and they're what make the show worth watching. Although it could have been a little more inclusive (international Deaf students, black Deaf women, more "Elite" Deaf POC) that leaves room for new opportunities for future seasons with new cast members. This is a great show to try and get more people to start talking and becoming more educated on Deaf culture.

Out of absolute boredom, I ran across this show (being billed as a documentary) however it was less documentary and more of a reality show about a group of deaf students who spend all their time instagramming and sleeping around. I imagine the producers searched for the most attractive group they could find and then asked them to talk about their sex lives, which seem to consist of a rotation of sleeping with one another, except for the one bisexual girl and her lesbian gf. I watched the entire season, hoping it would get better but it was entirely more of the same, just a group of 20yr olds drinking, screwing around, and eating ramen noodles. Most the females were fairly attractive, with the exception of the one "elite" blonde who looked entire like a stripper in training. If you're looking for actual information on deaf culture, this is NOT the place to find it.
