Season 1 Review:
Best known for "Friday Night Lights," producer Jason Katims has crafted another small coming-of-age gem with As We See It, adapting an Israeli series about a trio of 20-somethings on the autism spectrum, trying to find purpose and independence. Heartbreaking and touching in its central characters' vulnerability, this Amazon series deserves to be seen and celebrated.

Season 1 Review:
“As We See It” follows in the Katims tradition of heartfelt family drama. It’s a lot to ask of a show to handle all the above [to let people on the autism spectrum be at the centers of their own stories, and to tell those stories with the kind of care they’re otherwise rarely afforded on TV] with both sensitivity and a clear eye for narrative, but Katims and company continually find a way to thread this particularly tricky needle.

Season 1 Review:
As We See It finds a good balance between when it wants you to laugh and when it hopes you’re going to cry a little. Never for a second do you forget that the show is trying to make you have, as the kids say, all the feels, but the pandering and mawkishness are kept to a minimum.

Season 1 Review:
The struggle is real, but as we pick up early on, the remedies are not just about the autistic dealing with themselves. It's about the rest of the world dealing with their autism—something that provides the net in a show that, by definition, is walking a comedic high wire. ... "As We See It" probably won't shock anyone with the decision-making contained therein, but the seemingly knotty problems faced by its extraordinary characters are, upon reflection, not so uncommon.

Season 1 Review:
“As We See It” has the potential to show their autistic cast’s true perspectives, but the writing certainly needs to be more reflective of a neurodivergent POV. Pien, Rutecki, and Glassman are great, as is Bacon, but if you’re at all on the spectrum and/or a disabled viewer, expect a lot of treacle that’s not meant to make you feel seen.
