Netflix Show: Special by Ryan O’Connell. Recommended by Jacob Dwyer. Filmed in a semi-auto-biographical way, Netflix’s Special highlights the adventures of the writer and producer Ryan O’Connell, a gay man living with cerebral palsy. From working as a Buzzfeed-esque writer to losing his virginity, each 15-minute vignette provides an insight into the intersection between ability and sexuality with a refreshing perspective. Also, it’s a prime example of correct representation in media, where O’Connell plays the main character acting out stories based upon his memoir, I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves. Given the shortness of each episode, check this new show out for a quick study break or even a quick binge.
