We Might Regret This

I was pleasantly surprised to see this show on the BBC. It's so rare to see disabled characters taking the lead and made for a refreshing change.

The show overall strikes a good balance between showing the realities of living with a life-changing disability and yet it not wholly being a show ABOUT disability. We get to see Freya, a tetraplegic, for who she is as a person rather than just a set of needs and inabilities.

As someone with a disability, it felt relatable without feeling like I was just watching a depressing tale about all the issues we can face, which can often happen.

There were a lot of loose ends and questions at the end of season 1, so I'm hoping we get more episodes. But definitely a very solid start to a new drama series.
