Instant Favorite.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This show is not funny. Its also a creative mess. You blame all of this on the feet of Shana Goldberg-Meehan. She was seen as a great writer when "Friends" was on the air. She is credited with many episodes however most of those episodes were most likely polished by better people. How do I know this? Look at Shana Goldberg-Meehan record since "Friends" ended. "Joey" she help create was terrible. A few year later she had the show "Better with you" which was also an unfocused mess. It needs to be said her dad was in the business. He created "Family Ties". His name was Gary David Goldberg. So Shana has never had to work that hard for anything. It shows in her work. She has no how to "focus on the real truth of a scene". She is a Hollywood Hack. Speechless is a great idea for a show and has great actors in it that could make this a big hit. However the shows producers need to throw Shana Goldberg-Meehan off the set. She has a credit as a creative consultant. Which means she has limited "power" however even that is too much. Hollywood needs to show her the door!

This episode is about a family who struggles to find their son J.J, who has cerebral palsy the accommodations he needs. This episode was funny, Witty and expressed how ignorant people can be towards disability etiquette. J.J is not the only character who struggles with adversity his family does as well. Their family has been constantly moving around to try and accommodate J.J but his brother struggles with constantly moving around and feels neglected. J. J's mother comes off very strong and dedicated to her son. The principle is taken back from the mom's aggressiveness but she has to be like that in order for J.J to get what he needs. This episode sent a powerful message to its viewers that everyone should be treated as a human and not "trash". When other characters first met J.J they made him feel so different than everyone else and treated him differently. I would defiantly recommend others to watch this episode to get an inside on how some people with disabilities are treated and the adversities they have to overcome. This episode conveyed the message that no matter who you are, or what kind of disability you have you should be treated like a human and given respect. In the beginning of the episode, the mom parked in a handicap spot and as soon as she did another lady with a pass immediately said something to her. All Maya had to do was simply open up her van for her son to be visible and that immediately made the other woman quite. J. J's mother had high hopes for this school and was immediately turned off when she saw the ramp the school provided for her son, when in fact it was really a garbage ramp and not for children with disabilities (e.g. 07:50-8:40). This just showed how ignorant the principle was to believe that a parent would be okay with this kind of "accommodation". To prove how disrespectful this ramp was, Maya played a game called "human or trash" to prove her point. This episode demonstrated how the school failed to meet J. J's needs. However, the school did provide J.J with an aid to help him around school so he would not have to be in a special Ed class anymore. This aid allowed J.J to have a voice and to not rely on his mother's voice. When J.J entered his classroom, this scene immediately demonstrated inspirational porn (e.g. 09:38-10:37). His teacher kept repeating "he's here, he's here" as if J.J was a celebrity and had the rest of the students clapping for J.J. Then the teacher had the students stand up and clap and as soon as they did that he immediately said "oh god, he can't stand how insensitive" and had everyone sit back down. This teacher was extremely ignorant to disability etiquette and how you are supposed to treat someone. He did not think before he spoke. One of the students came up to J.J and held up a poster it said "J.J for president". J.J did not understand why he should be president because no one even knew him yet, and the teacher response "because you are an inspiration". According to (Young, 2014) people think that if you are disabled you are exceptional. Inspirational porn makes people think that no matter how bad my life is I could be that person. It is supposed to make you feel better about your life. What people don't understand is that these people are just doing ordinary activities using their bodies to the best of their ability. It is okay to want to exercise more so you, yourself become healthier but it is not okay to use people with disabilities as your own motivation (Young, 2024). This episode effectively showed how some people do not have any disability etiquette. Hopefully after viewers watch this episode they will be more aware on how to treat others with respect.

So far, I have only seen the first episode of this show and I thought it was really good. It is about a family that has a child with a disability and the main plot is how they go about their daily business. This specific episode was about how the family moved to a new school so that JJ (one of the main characters) could have an aid in school. The basic message that this show is trying to convey is how hard life can be in a family like this and how other people treat the family. The other people in this episode treat this family differently because they think that the mom is crazy and so they approach the whole family with caution. I would recommend this show to anyone because it has a good message about advocacy while is entertaining to watch.

I had seen commercials for "Speechless" as far back as last summer, but I honestly had gotten out of the habit of watching much network television. I recently came across an episode on the ABC app that a friend had recommended and immediately became hooked. The actors are a perfect mesh, playing off each other superbly and the writing is fantastic. I've always said that my personal measure of a show was how predictable (or unpredictable) it is and with Speechless I'm never left lacking. Can't recommend it enough!
