I was surprised by this show. I didn’t expect it to be so exceptional in its depiction of a family facing the challenges and curve balls of raising a young son with autism. It really looks at the family as a whole- how they communicate and interact- and autism is a big part of it, without being the central focus. Vento, the young actor who plays the autistic son, is phenomenal. This is by far the best show I’ve seen this year; it’s definitely worth a watch.
