What do you think? Do you like the Atypical TV series? Should this TV show have ended or been renewed for a fifth season on Netflix?
I love this show. My dauhter is an aspy and you have it nailed. Want to see more.
Surprised how well done this is. Lead male character very appealing, and most other characters interesting enough to make you want to learn more about them. Hope Netflix KEEPS THIS ONE!
I am really hoping there is a Season 2 of this wonderful show. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a show this much!!! The casting couldn’t have been better. Absolutely love this show and telling everyone about it. So so good!!!
This is a show from the very top draw of entertainment and is probably the best thing to happen in 2017.
The writing, characterisation, acting, portrayal and everything else is superbly done.
And it can be so so funny too.
If this is not renewed then it should be a crime.
Thoroughly enjoyed this show! Please renew!
Please renew! Thoroughly enjoyed this show!
Love this series. Definitely renew it. As a parent of an ASD son it has helped me understand some of his quirks as well as entertained me.
I just finished episode 8. I watched the last 3 episodes back to back. Netflix def needs to renew Atypical. It is totally addictive. There are too many questions left unanswered. What will Elsa say to Doug about why Casey wrote about banging the bartender on the Board? Will Sam ever experience love with Paige? Will Casey go to the prep school? Will Sam loose his virginity with Paige next since he already got a hand job from her in the igloo? Will Doug and Elsa get a separation? Will Nick stay true to Casey? These and more questions need… Read more »
Really enjoy the show. Well done.
Love the show can’t wait for more
Please re-new this series!! My son was diagnosed in 2001 at the age of 10, no one even heard of Asperger’s Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism when he was diagnosed!! I had to order books because Barnes& Noble didn’t even carry them on their shelves at that time. I had to teach the schools, teacher’s and administrators how to teach and help my son. I read over 60 books and wrote outlines of the disability for them to understand it and how it directly effected my son and still he had teacher’s that actually mocked and bullied him in school….yes, I… Read more »
Please renew!! Loved this show! We need more shows like this!
I absoulty loved atypical, having a family with an autistic son really showed the love and hardship of what really happens. Of course Sam is more functional than my boy but he also shows the true joy in laughter they bring without even knowing. My son brings happiness & laughter everywhere he goes just by his true honesty and we all love it. The show is amazing, can’t wait to see next season!
Definitely would like to see more of this show. Please renew
I think it’s great that a show is done for people with autism. I would invite the creators and writers to visit my sister-in-law here in Maine. She is so far off the “autism spectrum” that you would get a new view of autism through interaction with her. Most autistic people now, or those in the public eye, seem to be highly functioning autistics, who can do fairly well in school and in public, will someday be able to live independently and hold a job. Wanda is none of those things. She will never be able to live alone, or… Read more »
