The first season of this show is so different from everything. It started pretty mean spirited, but about halfway through the cast and crew didn’t want to pull off the prank anymore. It turned out to be a great study on how pure hearted the average person can be and I highly recommend it.

It's funny you say that, there's another show that did something like this and they were extremely mean to begin with and then couldn't bring themselves to be so mean later on and ended up being nice but I'll be damned if I can remember if it was a show from here in the UK or if it was an American one I've either seen or just seen reviewed on KZread, it's annoying me now lol there was a really good show we did over here that made a guy think he was literally going into space and they even rigged up a Hollywood-style ship to make it feel to him as though he actually was in space (and even some of the actors were so immersed in it they felt it was amazing and it looked beautiful). They were all so worried about letting him know it wasn't real because he was in such awe and was such a lovely guy and didn't want to let him down, he took it really well though and still thought it was a wonderful experience. Plus he got a good chunk of money which probably helped haha

Steven Seagal: manufacturing popularity for 80 years

I took American Sign Language for 4 years and I used to volunteer and work with the deaf community in my area growing up. Both the interpreter and actress are using actual American Sign Language which is incredibly surprising to me. Also, they definitely could have found a deaf actress or even a hearing actress who is born to deaf parents (which is a common thing). Overall, they definitely could have found someone connected to the deaf community or deaf culture in some way. They also didn't need to do the voice like that; there's varying degrees of deafness and not every deaf person sounds like that.

I'm old enough to know who Lorenzo Lamas is and dumb enough to have no idea what a llama sounds like.

He was so great. Which is what makes it even more sad that, if I recall, he went into a depression after the series aired because he felt like he had been made to look like an idiot on national TV.
