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).
