Atypical Review

Atypical

Netflix

When I heard that ‘Atypical’ was a scripted comedy about a kid on the autism spectrum starting to date, I wasn’t compelled to watch it.  I knew it was supposed to be funny and I had heard some good things, but it just didn’t speak to me.

After watching ‘Love on the Spectrum‘ and thoroughly enjoying the bright light that show is, I decided to give the scripted version a shot.

To be clear, ‘Atypical’ is not a comedy about a boy on the spectrum, it’s a comedy about family dynamics and interactions and one member of the family just so happens to be on the spectrum.  It’s insightful and funny, and what I imagine to be a somewhat realistic depiction of a lot of families (with a little Hollywood dazzle).
