This is a very interesting show that has great international appeal on some levels. Groundbreaking and an extremely bold choice for a television series but there are a few really big blunders in the writing which sadly makes it fall flat. The possibility of an intimate relationship between the disabled male lead Frank, and Sarah the disabled female lead, is a wonderful concept, but the fact that Frank's character is minimalised to the usual, done to death, typical Australian male behaviour is really the shows downfall. He gets drunk on his first date with lovely Sarah and projectile vomits onto her from across the table. Extremely poor choice in representing people with disabilities. The show therefore is using Australian stereotypes to try and make its point. Very poor judgment on the producers behalf. What about the real struggles of dating for disabled people? You think the shows going there but it doesn't. It tries to make itself relevant by regurgitating the old trope of blokes get drunk. The characters who facilitate these young disabled people are also pretty badly flawed. Brandi in particular who is depicted as a strong woman who likes to have many random sex partners? A bit of an insult to disability workers who would not mix their private lives with their work commitments. Ultimately the show is unwatchable and unlikely to break ground internationally which is a shame because it's a daring venture into television and the possibilities were actually endless.
