snperera what a great show!! it is so great and awesome! I love that it shines a light on the down syndrome community. All the people in it are so sweet and awesome and you really want them to accomplish their dreams and go against what the world says that they can't do. It also some very funny moments as well. I will always love this show and it will always have a special in my heart. Down syndrome people can do anything anyone else can do.

Syl This reality series features six young adults with Down syndrome and their families. If this series helps show their dreams and realities. They don't let Down syndrome define their lives. If you know somebody having a Down syndrome child and are considering terminating the pregnancy, please watch this show. This program shows that having a Down syndrome child isn't the end of the world. This series shows they can have normal lives including going to college, having jobs, getting married and more. Congratulations on a well deserved Emmy. The six adults meet at a center in Los Angeles, California. If this series can be educate others about Down syndrome then maybe there wouldn't be a termination rate of about 75%.

gretchen-45936 I have never before felt motivated to write a review for a television show. Well, this show inspired me! The cast is so authentic with their feelings and emotions. These people are putting themselves out there in an emotionally captivating way. They are sending the world strong and powerful messages about life, that we should all embrace. This show is about anything BUT disability and has brought "reality T.V." to a level of quality unseen in the past!In a world that places value on unimportant things, the cast in "Born this Way" brings the audience back to life's most beautiful treasures. This show has appeal for a wide range of ages. There are lessons to be learned by all!

ProSci I don't usually rate shows/movies a 10/10 unless they are both (nearly) flawless and socially important. I saw commercials for "Born This Way" on A&E before watching it and was very fearful that it would be exploitative but it is not. This show is incredibly educational, thoughtful, and well-made. There are scenes and topics that may not be for the faint of the heart but that is what makes this show, and it's cast, so special and unique. It is very real. In one episode, a viewer can almost assuredly feel an entire spectrum of feelings and emotions for the characters. The cast and their families have an unfiltered charm that is often lacking in 'reality' TV. I found myself laughing hysterically with the cast during one segment before almost being in tears during the next segment. The show is a perfect balance of genuine, heartfelt, and funny moments mixed with incredibly difficult (and sometimes sad) topics that most viewers may never think about if it weren't for this show."Born This Way" is an incredibly thoughtful and socially important show with a cast that is impossible not to love.
