Amazing show!! Wished they would bring it back!!

I absolutely loved the show but hated they canceled the show. It seems like they always cancel the good shows and keep the stupid ones. I only just recently found Switched at Birth about 2 months ago. I binged watched it and now I want more. I can’t believe there won’t be anymore. That’s sad.

Music

The show is very good. I do have 1 complaint. In the scene at the Mexican family cookout an error in music was made. The music playing was not Mexican it was Salsa which comes from the Puerto Rican culture.

Great show and great life lessons every one will need for life all wrapped up Into one show

I think it’s a really great show I’m almost done with the series but as adult I would have to say that I have learned some really real life lesson throughout this show so far but, I would have to say it’s a lot of this stuff is good for a 12 year old to watch because it shows them that not everything in this world is not all cupcakes and butterflies... it gives them a little taste of the real world and how life works... As a parents if you have kids even though they might say a lot of bad words on the show, some sex, drinking,drugs, smoking, and some LGBQT community... it shows them that their is a lot more than to life than all that stuff... you might think that it maybe a little too grown up stuff in their but their are a lot of good/ great role models in this show. I promise you I wouldn’t have let my 6 year old watch it with me before reading it before we watched it. And she loves it. She said its not what she mainly watches but, she also said that it had a lot of good lessons what of what you kind of taught me. And then I told her that all stuff you do will have consequences Good or bad. So do the right thing when no one is looking.

For mature kids only

It has some seductive sense and some sensitive subjects including some suicide talk in a few episodes about a brother, some sex ,condoms, shirtless girls and boys. And some weed in one episode even Cocaine. It depends on the maturity of the child really.

Honestly it’s really good

I think this show is pretty good I know there is some sex and other things but it is also very entertaining plus younger kids probably won’t understand the sexual stuff and I like it because in all the shows these days there is a lot of sex but this show doesn’t have a lot! I have watched all of it at least 4 times I definitely recommend for teens!

Culture Gone Crazy

Okay, this show is good in that it promotes the the deaf community. However, it also promotes teen sex, and minors sleeping with adults, which is against the law!! Most of the kids lie, cheat, and sleep around with various friends of friends. Kids are not taught how to be responsible adults, and the parents are also clueless about life, etc. A very "screwed" up show, like most in our culture.

Whores at Birth

I really despise the director, in the direction he was going through with the storyline. The plot sucked. It is really disappointing how everyone, all the characters are hooking up with each other. This show has no morals. As viewers we can all agree...well most of us, that we all expected Season 1 to be a bit more..sweet to watch, to say the least. I would not let my teenage kids or anyone else watch this. End of story. This show can really piss someone off. There are better shows to watch out there.

Could have had a home run here..with a few less sexual home runs.

Good plot, compelling and interesting characters. There are many messages and it does a good job by today's standards of showing multiple sides to an issue. However it really could have cut a lot of the sexual scenes. While I'm sure the teens loved it was just unnecessary if they wanted a larger audience. As a parent you have to play referee here a bit "that parent should have just been honest". "That girl needs some self esteem". This is teen and adult drama to the max but I don't want to imply it doesn't have value. It has many good things going for it. I so wish they had just behaved a little better at times. Its hard to put an age on it. A secure teen would understand it for the drama it is and not feel they need to actually behave that way themselves. A teen who is not grounded and who may think that is normal parent and teen behavior could be influenced. The sad part is, there were many terrific messages and a great exposure to deaf culture and ASL although I'm sure a lot of deaf people were hoping we didn't take some of the characters discrimination against hearing people as a valid or accurate representation of their views. Even after I said all this it was very entertaining.
