CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
aarontramp Yes, as others have stated, the representation of Autism in this show is probably incorrect. However, if like me you just want to watch a show for a giggle and to get involved with characters, this show is perfect. It's incredibly funny but just don't take the show too seriously and it's fantastic.
swhitewrites Just finished binge watching this show. It's heartwarming with plenty of emotions throughout. Michael Rappaport was amazing as the Father. Really loved all the characters and this was a fun and easy watch.
steve-24755 This started out rock solid, character driven and entertaining. But like always they had to build in a stupid sex angle that has absolutely nothing to do with the premise of the show. We are first treated to a special young man struggling to come to grips with puberty and his autism. The way he does is refreshing and makes you pull for him.But as always, Hollywood hates a functional happy family and the show soon deteriorates to the common theme of unhappy marriage, cheating and the always present loss of virginity of teens.Why cant any writers anymore fill a show with plot and topic related content? Have the skills of writers diminished to the point they have nothing to offer but endless affairs? Too bad too. It took what looked like a great show, and turned it into another of the same old garbage on every night.
lydiajksnicket I couldn't get 5 minutes in before I was absolutely disgusted by it. First off they rely on the same stereotype of autism that we have seen for years; the white, cis, straight male who's highly dependent on neurotypicals, apathetic, seemingly emotionless, awkward, etc,. Basically Sheldon Cooper. Second, they rely on his autistic traits for pretty much all of the comedy. Third they treat autistic people as burdens on society. This is not the representation autistic people want or need. The sooner this show is replaced with a more accurate representation, the better.
