and Josh Feldman took the stage to talk about the second season of the Sundance Now drama, which broke ground in more ways than one. For one, it was Sundance Now’s first straight-to-series order. Secondly, it puts the spotlight on the seldom represented deaf community.
Feldman and Stern, who are both deaf, unpacked how mental illness is often stigmatized for those who can hear, but with the deaf community, the stigmatization is magnified because the community is small.George Takei Praises Authenticity Of AMC's 'The Terror: Infamy', Points Out Parallels To Southern Border Immigration Crisis - TCA
“There’s an added layer of anxiety,” said Stern about members of the deaf community seeking out mental health. She said that there is always a third party when it comes to that narrative and the deaf community is often concerned about whether or not people who can hear understand them correctly. Kasher, whose parents are deaf, appreciates the importance of this representation on the show. “It shows the messiness and humanity of people,” he said. “It digs into humanity beneath the surface — that’s what is exciting about this.”
