The Outer Limits: The Message (1995)
Episode 17, Season 1
Distracting amount of ableism.

I'd like rate this higher because I love Marlee Matlin. My problem with this episode is the constant and blatant ableism. I found it very hard to enjoy the plot while distracted by the unfair treatment. The character's doctors and husband speak about her behind her back and make decisions about her welfare without her input. When her own husband refuses to believe her and drags her around forcing her to what he wants its enough to make me want to write this episode off completely. All of this might have been palatable if they had only addressed the fact that the actions were ableist, but leaving this unaddressed is inappropriate and irresponsible.
