Hey, thanks for sharing! Creator of the video here. Heads up for those who have quick judgments of the show without seeing it first, give it a watch. It's meant to explore multiple perspectives and ideologies based on the scenario. Believe me, it's not what it appears, like any show, it has twists and makes sighted viewers think. Not only were there blind consultants but there is a producer on the show who's totally blind. Also, AppleTV+ offers 8 languages of audio descriptions so that might be enough to even check out some of the content on there especially international viewers.

Now if only they’d consulted a blind person about the terrible, overdone, offensive premise of the show.

They did. Nice try, but better luck next time. :)

I should say, too, that just because they consulted some blind people on the writing doesn't mean they used any of that advice. I mean, looking at the trailer, it sure doesn't look like it. As far as I can tell, the only reason people aren't making more of a deal about this thing is because it's on Apple TV and, come on. How may people even want or are going to get Apple TV? And how many of those would be blind? Like, maybe five?
I hope this show doesn't turn out to be the kind of garbage it looks like it is in every piece of media I've seen about it. I will happily watch it if that's the case. But everything I've seen about it makes it look like the same tired crap I've seen in fiction ad nauseum when it comes to blind people and I'd rather watch anything else at this point.

You must have missed the rather large discussion we had when this was first announced and the general consensus that it's more offensive garbage about blind people. Nobody here really thinks "In a world without sight, the man who can see is god" is anything but edgelord stereotyping, and that seems to be the premise of this entire show, so... Nice try fobbing off critique of the premise with a pithy comment, though. :)
