Judy Berman TIME Magazine Oct 30, 2020
Clocking in at just eight 20-minute episodes, the show can feel a bit rushed; the structure could certainly be tighter. But if you're a fan of this format and can't stand to look at another Real Housewife, you could certainly do worse. Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter Oct 8, 2020
Deaf U is a reality series first and foremost and, outside of the discussion of deaf politics and culture, not a particularly involving one. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. Sep 28, 2022
I’m already ready for season two. Go to Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) Oct 12, 2020
It's going to grip, this series. And all students get exponentially more charming the longer this progresses, thanks be. Go to Full Review Jade Budowski Decider Oct 12, 2020

Apr 10, 2021 Only hearing people like this pile of crap. Praying there won't be a season 2 so Nyle will have less of a platform to paint the Deaf community in a bad light. See more susan j @CallMeLulu Oct 23, 2020 Wow. Brilliant. Different, Compelling. Funny. Heartbreaking. Fascinating. Plus filled with the standard drama of a reality series. The people are amazing. Although I lived in Washington DC for a long time and knew a couple of people who went to Gallaudet, I know very little about the "deaf community." This was so eye-opening. The sociology of it. I really like almost all of the characters. For reality TV it's surprisingly not superficial. A couple of situations actually had me in tears--I don't mean manipulative TV commercial tears but seriously sympathizing or empathizing with the characters. And it's super entertaining. Amazing watching all the signing. Really amazing. See more Read all reviews
