Critic Reviews
Season 2 Review:
The result is distinguished by admirably low-key performances, much like in season one, but it doesn’t rise to the level of must-watch. ... It ambles along, showing us people struggling with the stuff of life without making that struggle compelling enough to make me fully invested in it.

Season 1 Review:
[Show creator Robia Rashid has] twisted characters and plot elements in service to message first and art or entertainment second. The last of the eight episodes sets up a second season with a completely artificial and manipulative story twist. Fortunately, Gilchrist and several supporting cast members hold our interest and justify a second season for the show in spite of its flaws.

Season 1 Review:
Gilchrist's performance is so good it can steer away from much of the tone trouble. The same is mostly true for Rapaport. But Atypical keeps backsliding, becoming unbelievable and poorly written and executed faster than you can say "ABC Afterschool Special." Repeatedly wrongheaded decisions, mostly from Elsa, turn Atypical into a contrived mess shockingly fast; you watch it go from potential Netflix gem to no-thanks network hash in roughly four episodes.
