(Prime Video)
Jack, Harrison, and Violet won’t be back for a second season on Amazon’s Prime Video. The streaming service has cancelled the As We See It TV series. The show was created by Jason Katims and is based on the Israeli series On the Spectrum.
A dramedy, As We See It stars Rick Glassman, Albert Rutecki, Sue Ann Pien, Sosie Bacon, Chris Pang, and Joe Mantegna. The story follows Jack (Glassman), Harrison (Rutecki), and Violet (Pien), twentysomething roommates who are on the autism spectrum. They strive to get and keep jobs, make friends, fall in love, and navigate a world that eludes them. With the help of their families, aide, and sometimes even each other, the roommates experience setbacks and celebrate triumphs on their own unique journeys toward independence and acceptance.
The series launched in January with an eight-episode season. While As We See It received positive reviews and registered a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, viewer interest was apparently not high enough to warrant a second-season renewal from the streamer.

A really unique television experience full of humour and insight.
An interesting perspective on people and situations that most people are never exposed to and yet should be aware of.
Big mistake to cancel it!
My sister and I are very disappointed that this excellent show is being cancelled. With a 92% approval rating how can Amazon realistically decide a show’s success in the short time frame of 8 episodes? In an age of every-changing and endless array of streaming services with literally thousands of series to choose from, it takes more than 1 season for a series to be discovered, let alone gain broad viewership. You were cutting edge with diversity and inclusion entertainment with this show Amazon. Too bad you you didn’t give it a chance, just like the characters portrayed in this… Read more »
