I liked "Atypical" myself, although I'm usually not a big fan of series with a lot of sentimentality. With Sam, the series has created a really charming main character who is accompanied on his way of growing up with autism. I especially liked the depiction of the relationship with his sister. The two don't always get along well, as it is with siblings, but they are always there for each other in an emergency and Sam sometimes even overcomes situations that are very uncomfortable for him to help his sister. In general, I think the series deals very carefully and well with the topic of autism and portrays it as it actually is. Here you are shown which hurdles people with autism have to jump over, while people without autism don't think much about them. This series made me laugh, cry, and think. Clear recommendation on my part!

After watching Season's 1 and 2 highly recommend this hidden jewel examining a family's challenge bringing up teens including a high functiioning autistic son! Well written, acted and all characters are perfectly cast. Give it a few episodes and you'll be hooked!

I just found the show now on Netflix busy binging each season. Loving the first season.
-
Well written show with very relatable characters. The way the shows storyline grows and allows the story to carry on through many episodes is refreshing compared to the standard model of everything wrapping up at the end of each episode.
-
I am sorry that series like this do not get the attention they deserve. The story is really beautiful and opens a window into the world of a boy with real difficulties in dealing with adolescence. This series warms your heart and reminds you how selfless, sincere, and honest we need to be.
-
The story is very well thought through. Also the acting is awesome. Even though in S1 there is not yet a lot happening, I really dig it. Absolute Must See!!!

This show could have been so good. However, the great moments are overshadowed by the stupid decisions made by the parents. If you have a special needs child, then you know this show touches on many of the things we have or are still dealing with. That being said, the decisions made by the parents are not believable. Hence the scenarios appear fabricated, which is a shame.

I'm amazed this series has a high score. My brother came by and was watching it. It was so lame all across the board that I couldn't tolerate it for longer than 3 minutes.

I really like the added lesbian twist!
