I loved Big Bang and was sad when it finished but had Young Sheldon to ease the loss which I also really enjoyed. Atypical was described to me by a friend as if Sam were a teenage Sheldon and I agreed until I really got into the show.
Whilst the other shows focused on showing the behaviour that can be portrayed, this show takes you on a journey with Sam. The clever editing and writing shows you how and why noise affects Autistic people as it does, the education I received watching the show filled me with empathy and a level of understanding I had not felt before.
If that was not enough Sams support cast are outstandingly individual making me want a Paige and a Casey and a Zahid. The young cast really steal the show and it's VERY hard to do that when you have such big shoes to fill in the like of Michael Rappaport and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Honestly, I find the show an absolute delight and was so gutted it only ran 4 seasons. Well done to all involved and hats off to Sam who fulfilled his character so much I'm grieving the loss of a friend.
