What do you think? Do you like the Atypical TV series? Should this TV show be ending or renewed for a fifth season on Netflix?
Love this show. The characters are perfectly flawed and brilliantly portrayed. The writing is thoughtful (obviously). It is wonderful to sit down and watch 30 minutes of entertainment that doesn’t leave us feeling dirty or cheated.
This show is truly a bright light. I gave recommended this to family and friends. The cast is amazing.
Absolutely renewed. The most authentic show on TV.
This is a wonderful show!! Cancellation is the wrong decision
Interesting show and characters, keep them coming. Thanks

Great Show! Please continue it.
My entire family loves this show, as does my son’s family and my daughter’s family. So glad to see it continue.
I would love to see this show continued. My grandson has autism he is eight and I know he will go threw some if not all the situation and issues. It helps parents see things that will arise in the spectrum world.
I think the show is great. I have two grandchildren with Autism and they are great kids. I think the world should see that kids with Autism are first of all kids who have to face the same issues other kids face, only with a lot more obstacles. The show is inspiring.
