    It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

    It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

    It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

    Funny, realistic, nothing like it show. Can lack a bit of interest sometimes but I think that makes it more true to what it's meant to be.

    Firstly I love how this show is shining a light on the struggles and complications of autism and it's great that were seeing more awareness being spread about mental health and disabilities on Netflix with shows such as 13 Reasons Why. Like with 13RW this show can enlighten people on how to deal with someone who is alone and confused. Secondly it is interesting to see how Sam's family deal with his autism and the ultimately negative effects that it can have on other people. The show is funny, gripping and sometimes sad, the episodes are shortish (30-40 mins) and there is 8 eps in the first season. It's definitely worth a watch if have some spare time on your hands!9/10

    I like the diversity of each character and how their stories are intertwined in such a realistic manner. Everybody's struggle is so easy to relate with. And it's not too serious. Amazing dialogues and storytelling. Please bring the second season soon!

    For starters, Keir Gilchrist and Michael Rapaport crush it in this show. I'm generally not one to watch dramedies, but this show definitely has its moments.My biggest complaint with the show honestly has to be Jennifer Jason Leigh. I'm not really a fan of the cheating subplot to begin with, but there's something about how she plays Elsa that just makes the character irritating and very difficult to empathize with. Maybe its the dynamic that her character is supposed to create, but it comes off as naggy. Pair that with the unnecessary character of Nick and the show just makes you feel bad for everyone who is oblivious to the mother's actions.Some may argue that Doug's walking out in 2004 justifies Elsa's actions, but the show does not do a great enough job of stressing the magnitude of that, but milks the cheating scenes far too much, creating an unbalance between the emotions you feel toward each parent. Doug is trying to improve and Elsa is going off the rails.All in all, I find the show to be quite entertaining, but there is definitely something to be desired that is not present.
