I have never left a review before but felt compelled to after the nonsense low ratings. I'm not a fan of drama. After seeing many shows talking about this before it aired I felt compelled to watch it for the idea of telling a story from a deft person who isn't just a deft person. It gives me anxiety with the camera shakes and the sound being muffles as you read the subtitles for the signing. It's brilliant. People complaining you can't connect with characters mostly due to having to read are the reason this show was done this way. They definitely proved a point and executed it well. Thanks to this my partner and I are signed up for BSL classes.
First up, l couldn't stop watching after viewing the 1st episode. So l binge watched every episode in 5hrs on iview ABC. Brilliant viewing in every aspect. The one down side was: l found the speed in which the actors sign languaged to each other or themselves was too quick for me to finish reading the subtitles. And l watch everything with subtitles and are good at reading subtitles cos of my poor hearing. So for me there was a fair bit of rewinding to read it again. It could've been from watching closely the acting & (scenery) and not both at same time. Beautiful scenery and actor quality amazing. Other than that l absolutely 💯 loved everything about it. It opened my eyes to a world l'd never given much thought too, sorry. Thank you for the quality program and l truly hope there's a 2nd season please 🙏 👏😍🇦🇺
Seen all the best , from Breaking Bad through Adolescence etc , this is truly up there!!! Will open up a whole new world to so many who just don't realise what it's like to be deaf . The acting is excellent, the story painful for many to watch , but this sxxt exists in the world we live in . Bravo !!!
This is not one to miss , can't really understand the comments about bad ending or dreary plot etc . It's not about either , it's the subject matter and the way it is portrayed, it touches so many nerves and if you can watch it without feeling uncomfortable, upset and extremely guilty for being so ignorant, then you've got no soul .
Take away a slightly slow episode 2 and this would be 10/10 stars all the way.

I have resisted the urge to binge-watch so this is based on 3/4 Episodes. I found it to be Compelling, emotional..kept me glued to the screen. Unlike some reviews here, I thoroughly enjoyed the signing & the subtitles (I think it helps with subtitles if you are an avid speed reader anyway). The performances from the main characters, outstanding. However, the most important comment for me to add is that it really made me think & try to understand what it must be to be deaf. I recently lost my hearing for 2 days due to flying & I was SO frustrated with it. This drama has given me an insight i never had before. Well Done to everyone involved..its superb!
I thought this a well made drama with a different context and well thought through story line, without any of the ridiculous plot line gimmicks that many so called drama series have these days. I enjoyed it!
It was good to see some new faces and great to see the effort that the hearing actors had put in to learn BSL.
I am very hard of hearing and have learned basic BSL, so the whole experience was a very refreshing change. At the same time I didnt see anything that should put a hearing audience off - the signing was subtitled but so many people these days use subtitles as a matter of course it shouldn't cause a problem.
