Good - I won't cancel my subscription now.
My daughter tells me that there is a Netflix original series called
"Dare Devils" that features a blind super hero. There was a bit of a
hoo haa about this in the US because a program featuring a blind super
hero was inaccessable to the blind. I think this series became the
first AD program on Netfflix. I've no idea of the veracity of this ,
its just what my daughter told me today.
