special is one of the Netflix series that revolutionized users of the streaming platform for its unique way of using comedy to chronicle the difficult life of American comedian Ryan Hayes. The story was based by his on the humorist’s memoirs and stars himself.
The Red N miniseries captivates its audience with the fast and fun pace of the production that takes place through two seasons, with episodes of just over 20 minutes each. But it is also easy to watch because the story is full of emotional and comic moments that will create endless emotions, although some of the most dramatic moments surpass the humor and sarcasm of the protagonist.
What is Special, a Netflix series, about?
The story is based on the memoirs of comedian Ryan Hayes, which I grouped in the book: “I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves.” The Serie tells the story of the comedian, shortly after suffering an accident that left him with cerebral palsy and he will live with his overprotective mother. But he will begin to have greater independence by finding employment as an editor on a web portal, where he will write viral articles on topics of popular interest.
The revolutionary thing about the series is not focusing on the job placement of a person with a disability, but rather its essence is found in the way it is written and that will challenge each user. Ryan’s boss encourages him to write notes that will explore a more intimate and sensitive side of the comedian, with themes from his new disability and his romantic relationships within the LGBT community.
