What a pathetic person this guy is. Why the fuck do you care that your mom has a boyfriend? Why do you ruin her life if you are not happy with yours? Another thing I don't get about series of this kind is, when I come back from work, the only thing I want to do is drop on my bed and die. These people are not working at all! Not at all! Partying, having fancy dinners and shit all day, every day, when do you work people? When do you really, really work? Smh.

Funny, moving, and heartwarming, this is an unexpected delight and I hope we get to see a lot more of _Special_. Punam Patel steals the show as Kim, but it's a terrific ensemble cast.

I enjoyed half of it but Ryan was annoying , never actually vibed with him, he was really selfish most of the times , I’m glad is only 2 seasons, could have been 1 with 13 episodes tbh

While not particularly my cup of tea, it is a good/fine show. It has some quality HBO-ish style of comedy writing to it which will really click with some people more than others. It reminds me of Insecure quite a bit. It is also nice to see the double representation of both cerebral palsy and LGBTQ, despite also realizing that will turn a sizeable chunk of audience away from it. It is quite unfortunate that this show was cancelled after two seasons, because this is one that I could see myself looking forward to annually on Netflix. Average Season Review: 7.5/10 Recommendation: At Least Give it a Whirl (For HBO Comedy Fans)
