"I think what we really wanted to do with this show with mental health, with self-harm, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, we wanted to show really grounded representations of a deaf family, like 'we are just are there.' It's just they do American Sign Language. They just sign to each other. We're just there. So that was always our goal is to try to be as grounded and as authentic as possible. And I think where teens and even adults are, it's through the lens. We're talking a lot more about mental health out, on social media, out in the world, how important it is. We've all just lived through a global pandemic, and I think it's really important to show grounded representations of people on screen. Diversity. These are all things that people really...it makes them feel a part of, and it's something that's so important. I think we showed that in season one with Abby with her parents going through a divorce. Everything seems great on the outside, but then when you open the door and get on the inside - struggling. Everyone's fighting a battle that you really can't see. It's like the theme always - you open the door, you pull back the curtain, and there's always something behind there. Always. And that's just the grounded representation that we really wanted to show with Ginny & Georgia."
