Review

I like how Casey described her boyfriend Evan as Evan Tube in her phone, because he once got suspended from school because he stole a Tuba. Casey is my favorite person in this series. It kind of feels like she is me in a weird way. I mean, I also have a brother with autism. So I kind of get how she feels sometimes. I also had a hard time when I was younger because my brother was getting all of the attention. And I basically had to do weird and stupid stuff to get attention.

Elsa was very stupid to start a relationship with the bartender. I mean, what was she thinking? I mean, she looked happy in her relationship with Doug. I think it was because she was missing something. Sam wants to do more things alone and now Elsa has more free time. But instead of hooking up with someone, maybe she should’ve gotten a hobby or something.

It felt like this season was an introduction. You know how series have a pilot episode, so you get to know the characters a little bit better? That is how I was feeling during the first season of Atpyical. Not that it was a bad thing. I still enjoyed it. I loved the conversations between Sam and his friend Zahid. I think Zahid is a really great friend for him. Okay, Zahid talks about girls a lot but he also gives great advice. And he cares about Sam too.
