Além do Som

... but instead it wasn't even clear if it was with actual real people or fake with actors. The way it was set up was weird. And the focus on dating is bizarre, why not focus on the rest of university life? I wasn't able to watch it beyond the two bros in the gym discussing female classmates like they were pieces of meat.

But yay for deaf representation in film? #missedopportunity

I came expecting a wholesome show with a fresh setting and I got the same old trash with a fresh setting...

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.

I was so excited for this docuseries. Living right outside DC, I'm familiar with Gallaudet and the city. But it was shallow, plodding and just downright uninteresting. And what was with "The Elites"? Probably something also shallow and ridiculous but I wish they would have addressed it more. I wish they would have put a bigger finish on the end but maybe they are hoping for a 2nd season. Doubt I'll be watching.

I found this in Netflix's documentary section because deaf culture fascinates me. I quickly found out, however, that this is a reality show, not a documentary. The filmmakers seems to go out of their way to simplify relationships between students (mainly by focusing on just 5-6 students in a school of 1000) and enhancing the drama between them.

That being said, the characters the students play are interesting, and I ended up watching the whole season. I also learned about deaf culture, though my time would probably have been better spent just watching Cheyenna's Youtube videos.
