SPECIAL FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)

SPECIAL is a groundbreaking series created by Ryan O'Connell, which premiered on Netflix. It is a semi-autobiographical show that delves into the life of a young gay man with mild cerebral palsy, offering a fresh perspective on disability and sexuality.

Ryan O'Connell not only stars in the show but also serves as the writer and executive producer, making it a personal project that reflects his own experiences. The series has been praised for its authentic portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and the challenges they face, as well as for its humorous and heartfelt storytelling.

Each episode beautifully balances comedic moments with poignant insights into the complexities of living with a disability in a world that often overlooks or misunderstands such experiences. The character of Ryan, played by O'Connell, navigates through various challenges, including dating, friendships, and his relationship with his mother, all while trying to embrace his identity fully.

A key aspect of SPECIAL is its emphasis on representation. O'Connell's work not only brings light to the lives of individuals with disabilities but also showcases the importance of authentic storytelling within the LGBTQ+ community. The series serves as a platform to discuss the intersectionality of disability and sexuality, opening up necessary dialogues about inclusion and acceptance.

This show stands out in the realm of television, as it invites viewers to engage with themes of self-acceptance and resilience through a lens that is often ignored. The humor used throughout the show is not just for entertainment; it also acts as a tool for empathy, encouraging audiences to understand and connect with the protagonist’s journey.

As accolades continue to pour in for SPECIAL, the conversations around its cultural significance grow louder. Critics have lauded it for its originality, wit, and ability to resonate with diverse audiences. The impact it leaves on social perceptions regarding disabilities is noteworthy and affirming.

In terms of production, the series has been noted for its inclusive casting and storylines that elevate voices often marginalized in mainstream media. The production team actively sought to ensure that the experiences portrayed on screen were as genuine and relatable as possible, reflecting the real-life stories of many viewers.

In conclusion, SPECIAL is not just a comedy series; it's a celebration of uniqueness, love, and the challenges of finding one’s place in the world. Ryan O'Connell's vision, along with a talented cast and crew, makes this series a must-watch, shining a much-needed light on the beauty and intricacies of being different.

For those looking to recommend SPECIAL as an FYC (For Your Consideration) show, it stands strong as a compelling narrative that intertwines humor with crucial social commentary, leaving a lasting impact on all who watch it.

For DVD Player (North American NTSC)

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
