  1. Love that they cast disabled actors feel like often time they go the other route and cast non disabled actors in the roles of disabled characters

  2. I loved the representation in this show however it uses the label Asperger's to describe the brother which is a very outdated term. Other than that though the show is perfect

  5. Just watched the end of Best Interests and not overly impressed. The emotion shown when Marnie passed was wishy washy and bland, no real emotion of a distraught family. I found it abit hypocritical as in Nicci went to all that trouble to fight to keep Marnie alive and then oh court order lets give up fighting for her because Nicci wasnt fighting for Marnie she was fighting the NHS a government institution and fighting the government was an impossible task so it dawned on Nicci lets give up as one person fighting a government agency the likelihood of a posative outcome was virtually nil. The gall of offering the NHS Marnies organs was surreal and utterly ridiculous as technically the NHS via a court order were the ones who signed marnies death warrent so why would you do a good deed for an organisation that indirectly killed your child. What planet the writers were on I really dont know but it wasnt earth thats for sure.

  6. Is this show accurate on disabilities and wheelchairs in general if the actor playing young Marnie hasn't used a power wheelchair?

  11. The importance of the disabled on screen is one thing…fetishizing them to the point that the mentally disabled (Woke), BLIND THEMSELVES!!!!! is quite another!!
    Which will this be??
    It's post 2016 BBC, (That's not a Gallifreian puzzle there folks…..)

  13. I'd like to see more Disabled Drag Queens on TV! 👍

    How about Drag Queens who've got Down Syndrome and call it Down Drags?!?! 🤔😏👍
