Part 2/11:
The first four episodes set a tone of mediocrity. Critics and fans alike found them dull, poorly written, and lacking in genuine engagement. The use of American Sign Language throughout was particularly grating; it dominated scenes to the point of monotony, with viewers waiting impatiently for dialogue to catch up with signing. The series' lead actress, El Aqua Cox, who portrays Maya Lopez, was also widely criticized for her lack of acting skill and emotional depth. Her casting seemed primarily motivated by her real-life identity—being deaf, Indigenous, and having an amputated leg—rather than by acting talent.
