As a person with higher functioning autism, I find some aspects of this show relatable and depicted in a funny and wholesome way. If you are at all interested in the topic of autism (which you should be) I suggest giving this show a watch.

Definitely a hidden gem on Netflix, feels a lot like The Fosters except a slightly more serious note. It can be emotional to watch but that’s what makes it so good as a show.

They even got Shannon Briggs as a therapist from ksi logan fight. But sadly they didn't get Logan Paul, they should have because he is the biggest social influencer.

I love Sam! I love his dad, and I love everything about this series except for his sister and his psycologist. I hate them both!

You must watch this show and enjoy it! 100% recommendable.

An excellent show with an (almost) excellent cast. I, personally, think that the actress that plays Sam's mum isn't very good and they could have done with getting a better actress for that part.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 4 Game-of-Thrones-Season-7's the show. The show has charm because of the main character and storyline and that puts it above the rest. I like this style of show it reminds me of 13 Reasons Why and End of the F'ing World or even Ragnarok. It's like that but more funny and raunchy (a little too raunchy for my taste). I'm really sick of raunchy shows. Anyway it's still an amazing TV show.... until the end of season 3 when they sacrifice one of the most amazing characters for the sake of an uncreative lgbtqa storyline. They take the most amazing character, one of the people who has the biggest heart and loves more people than anyone in the whole show and then takes a dump on this person. There's nothing wrong with lgbtqa storylines. Matter of fact it's disrespectful to that community that the creators force a story line and take out a beautiful person in it name. The best lgbtqa people have always had class. This show does NOT (circa season 4). It's the fact that the character elimination was forced and used to sacrifice one of the most lovable and humble characters TOO QUICKLY. NOW, to make it worse the cast forgets about this character and they haven't pushed anyone else out of the show at this point AT ALL. He's the first. Nowadays characters can be sacrificed instantly a-la Game of Thrones but the one person that they sacrifice is the most likable. The writers do it hyper swiftly to the point that the cast doesn't seem to care anymore about this person and they treat him like he almost never existed, the nicest person and person involved in the second best storyline of the show, right after Sam was saying that he could be his new best friend! Yet they keep the Zahid who is great but comes across a bit mysoginistic. It almost reminds me of how Daenerys changed too quickly, going against some of her own words, and that ruined season 7. Daenerys going insane makes sense overall but it just didn't seem like the timing was right. We wanted to see more fuel to the fire, more reasons, something was arry with the writing. Game of Thrones SE7 will go down in history as one of the worst of all time. Atypical SE4 isn't much different.What can I say? Binge TV was awesome in the beginning. Now it seems like Netflix almost has a formula to make it work. Maybe the masterminds of writing have it all figured out. I'm sure someone somewhere has all kinds of charts and graphs about how writing has evolved and what makes a good bin show and they probably have some algorithm that shows when interesting things need to happen but despite all that.... I guess you could call it predictability of unpredictability... Despite all that the show has charm because of the main character and storyline and that puts it above the rest. I won't give any spoilers but I like this style of shows it reminds me of 13 Reasons Why and End of the F'ing World or even Ragnarok.

Atypical ticks all the boxes but still struggles to find meaning. You get the sense the show's creator and writers went out of their way to create a rainbow of characters and situations to balance Sam's austism. As the show has veered intoAtypical ticks all the boxes but still struggles to find meaning. You get the sense the show's creator and writers went out of their way to create a rainbow of characters and situations to balance Sam's austism. As the show has veered into interracial and gay relationships, it is has become increasingly more diffuse and often stumbles as it tries to find both humor and pathos in these odd couples. The oddest is Casey and Izzie. There is absolutely no chemistry between them yet the writers persevere in trying to bring these two together. Just about every scene between appears forced and you really wonder why Casey doesn't go back to Evan, who better balances her character.

The same goes with all these attempts to keep Doug and Elsa apart. At least there appeared to be something between Doug and Megan, but after nearly two seasons of making Elsa pay heavily for her transgression, the writers finally realize the two should come back together. I really felt sorry for Jennifer Jason Leigh, who had to play the meek housewife through all this, enduring endless abuse from Doug, Casey and Sam.

The one relationship that really seems to click is between Sam and Paige. It took a little while to get used to Paige, but Jenna Boyd finds just the right might mix of humor and pathos in her character that it is hard not to fall love, which is what Sam eventually does. It is also helps that both are excellent young actors with great timing between them.

As far as the autism goes, season two is still the best as it introduced to actors with autism. A few appear again in season three, but it remains mostly about Sam and his attempts to deal with his first semester of college. Sarah Gilbert makes a fun cameo as his Ethics professor, with Sam struggling with his many quandaries. All in all, it remains fun to watch. Refreshing to have a television show with a positive outlook, even if it is a bit schmaltzy at times.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched all 4 seasons. I was entertained by its humor and drama. At the same time, it drove me crazy. All of the characters are relatable. They're the kind of people I like to know in real life. The reason it drove me crazy is the breakup that happens with the daughter. Who then becomes intimate with a troublesome girl who never leaves the show. I get it. A story to put alternative relationship experiences in the spotlight. Fine. But did the writers have to break the boyfriend's heart like that?? It was painful to watch. Their relationship was cute and special. Then the writers just ended it abruptly. I still don't know if what the writers made her do is believable to the character. To make it all worse they never give her ex-boyfriend a convincing closure. It's just a sad ending for this guy. Other than that, I like everything else about this show. The characters and the actors who portray them are superb. Expand

The show gets a lot of flak for being about a person with Autism, but I can't help but feel like the majority of people calling for it to be canceled haven't bothered to watch an episode.

What a sad way to finish something that started so well. Expand
