Stuck at home with time on your hands and want to watch a life-changing series? Special is a new Netflix comedy that engages with disability, sexuality, independence, and self-advocacy

It’s not too much of a spoiler to say this series demonstrates that even professional sex educators sometimes struggle to discuss sex with their immediate families. It’s a smart, entertaining series for teens and adults alike and it does a great job of modelling consent. It can also be a great conversation starter for some of those awkward topics…
