    Jersey Shore in sign

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

    It could have been a great docu series

    ... 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

    Pretty disappointing

    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...

    Definitely NOT a documentary

    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.

    Deaf dating reality show

    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.
