WHAT WE THOUGHT:
I found a new show to binge as we went into lockdown, again, this winter. Lucky for me, season four of
Atypical came out just as I wrapped season three. And let me tell you, it s the sweetest, most tender series to binge under the blankets right now, particularly if you re feeling a little lower than usual.
Atypical follows Sam (Keir Gilchrist), a teen on the spectrum, and his family, the Gardners. In season one, he decides he s ready for love and romance; for much of seasons two and three, he s navigating both having a girlfriend and being a college student. By the fourth and final season, he s moved in with his best friend, the hilarious Zahid (Nik Dodani), while planning a trip to Antarctica to see the one thing he s most passionate about penguins.
