    “No More Closets.” It time to get out of the closet as nobody deserves to be in one because of their sexual orientation or disability. Netflix makes another brave contribution to the LGBTQ community with another empowering show. The upcoming series ‘Special Season 1,’ not only reverences being gay, but it also talks about Cerebral Palsy. Moreover, the new show is ready to tackle several serious issues in a fun way (what Netflix loves to do).
    ‘Special’ is based on Ryan O’Connell’s memoir called I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves. O’Connell makes his acting debut and plays himself in the new Netflix Original. He is also the executive producer in the show. As the title suggests, we all know that this series is going to be really special for him.
