Most pop-cultural representations of deaf people frame them as anomalies among the hearing, their disability setting them apart from the mainstream.

But in the new Netflix reality series Deaf U — set at Gallaudet University, a private college in Washington, D.C., for hard-of-hearing students — they are the norm.

That hardly makes the campus a utopia; where there’s people — particularly young, attractive, single people with seemingly loads of free time — there’s bound to be drama.

There’s no question that Deaf U, which counts Gallaudet alum and deaf model Nyle DiMarco as one of its executive producers, is a huge leap in deaf representation onscreen.
