    There is something endearing about this show that made me binge watch the first season in two sittings. In the same breath I must admit that Sarah Jason Leigh's performance of the mother feels flat and forced. It seems like the casting was more focused on getting a 'name' in this show than actually caring about the believability or acting skills of it's female lead.

    There are a few funny moments here and there but this is more of a drama. I had to stop watching when they focused so much on the moms affair. I want to know about the kid and the situations he gets into not how his mom and dad have a hard time dealing with his issues.

    In its finest moments Atypical is warmhearted, sincere, funny, and shrewd. It’s hard to tell whether its inconsistency is due to a blurry conception of what tone it should strike, or whether producers simply wanted to appeal to as broad a swathe of potential viewers as possible--the show skews so wildly from slapstick to gritty drama to teen soap to family sitcom that it should come with Dramamine.

    This show desperately wants to get its depiction of autism right, and wants to pat itself on the back for doing so. All of which makes the uninspired characterization of Sam all the more infuriating.
