I recently started watching Extraordinary #AttorneyWoo and was feeling pretty positive about it (with the usual hesitation around the possibility of some things not being great).

I was really enjoying it, but then a few things disappointed me (some inaccuracies and tropes). I also had some questions about its accessibility.

Some of Young-woo’s reactions are quite relatable and I appreciate that. I’m reminded of how I related to Adrien Monk in the series #Monk from the aughts (and there’s so much to unpack there, I know).

This article articulates some of the not great: https://www.polygon.com/23308322/extraordinary-attorney-woo-netflix-autistic-representation-episode

Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s episodes have good and bad autistic representation

In Netflix’s Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Park Eun-bin’s main character brings plenty of autistic representation that is positive — but it’s still indulging some damaging stereotypes.

Also, now I want to learn Korean. I started learning Russian after binging a Russian language program a couple of years back. I ditched Portuguese while also trying to learn French.

So far I have officially learned zero additional languages. 🙃

😭 I just finished. I feel like I just watched some TV I watched when I was a kid. I liked it. Got a bit stressful toward the end, but I made it.

@helianthropy #Monk really resonated with us, too.
