This Ryan Murphy-produced dark comedy follows the tale of a wealthy Santa-Barbara-based student who will do just about anything to become student-body president of his high school. It features a diverse cast of characters — including a gender non-conforming person of colour, a deaf African American actress, a trans actor, and an actor with cerebral palsy — and what's so refreshing is that no one at the school treats these differences like a big deal. Even though Andrew (played by Ryan Haddad, who has cerebral palsy in real life) uses crutches, little attention is paid to his physicality, which in itself is revolutionary.
