You Can't Ask That

The first episode I watched was about blind people. I raise Guide Dog pups, and spend a bit of time with blind people and I learned a lot from this episode.

The show tells you a lot about all kinds of people, including the people who ask the questions, and in some cases act very poorly towards others who are different.

Although the show is quite emotionally taxing, I highly recommend it. You may find some of the subjects very uncomfortable, but you'll learn something about what these various groups of people have to deal with in their daily lives, and how unbelievably brave they are to be a part of this documentary. It gives you a chance to walk a mile in other people's shoes.

well i am fairly average and watched these shows when i was cornered ..no sport of interest left unseen , no new news , and open to witness deviations that would confirm my opinions and head off for an early night ..but instead was left in awe of courage at least , and stuff not harmful to others .. feeling i have much to understand but happier for the experience , thanks

This show gives me hope for an increasing divisive world. Littered with insightful and genuine moments, answers lots questions that have passed through my mind while also shining a spotlight on my own preconceptions.

So basically, things you want to know but were afraid to ask on account of being rude or inappropriate. Such a simple premise for a program but done so well it is always interesting.

The two things that always impress me about this show, and I've watched all seasons up to 2022 are: 1. The humanity of the interviewees. It's not always the case (there are definitely some angry individuals amongst them) but most people show an open mindedness and understanding towards the sort of people who might marginalise or persecute them which is so humbling. It always gives me faith that it's possible to break down barriers if only more of us could accept our differences.

2. The editing is AMAZING. The way the answers are spliced together makes the show so watchable. A real credit to the people who made this.

I have recommended this programme to people more than any other I can think of.

This series is important in that it shows how different and how similar we all are at the same time. I was often amazed how often members of the 'minority' group with the same attribute, when asked the same question, would usually all have different responses. I laughed, cried, sometimes cringed and was often surprised ... and more often than not, I would be reflecting on what was said a long time after I viewed the show.
