Oct 3, 2016Love the lead actor (Micah Fowler)... but Minnie Driver's character is just too "over the top" and overly-emoted. The show unfortunately is quite dull, and rarely actually funny. While we do need more shows with handicapped actors, this one could have had potential but lacks luster of any kind with a boring story line.

This self-aware, quick-witted and altogether engrossing comedy is actively anti-tokenism, mocking the very conceit that it even could be by putting the focus on Ray instead of J.J. and cleverly jabbing at those who fight for inclusion without caring to connect with the included.

This is one of those rare pilots that lends about the same comedic weight to every main character (and a good deal of the supporting cast, as well).

In fact, all of the performances are winning, with Driver deserving most of the praise. ... Speechless is shaping up to be one of the fall’s best comedies.
