I thought it was surprisingly good. I liked both lead girls quite a bit and could sympathize with both families. It's relatively light for such a deep topic like discovering biological parentage, but it still managed to look at the issues and not be too shallow or sappy. A lot of good humor, both sarcastic and light-hearted.
I'm not sure how long the novelty of two babies misplaced at the hospital will keep my attention, but for the first episode at least. I found it charming and fun and possibly even educational for some people that never had deaf friends or relatives or any exposure to the deaf community.
I think I’m really going to enjoy watching this show…just got tipped off to it by a friend the other day, and from the beginning it really intrigued me, especially the character of Daphne.I love how in the beginning they quickly established that although Daphne’s deaf, it’s not a hindrance, nor does it define her as a person, it’s merely a part of who she is – that whole scene right at the beginning when she played basketball with Toby was great ( watch it at http://vimeo.com/25529151 – I love her facial expressions when she’s telling him he can’t talk trash all he wants, also love that they used Pablo Sebastian’s “Hurricane during the scene, too that song fit so well)Overall the pilot was a little too much information/characters to digest and could’ve been better served by not trying to introduce everything, but still they did a great job of establishing the main characters and getting me hooked. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
I need more episodes of this to actually like it
