Buried in Netflix's deep library of original and licensed television shows is quietly one of the unsung gems of the last 10 years, a show that deserves recognition as a breakthrough in the depiction of neurodivergent characters. Atypical, a four-season dramedy created by Robia Rashid and starring Keir Gilchrist, Jack Haven, Michael Rappaport, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, is a remarkably sensitive, intimate, and fully lived-in slice of life that surprises you each episode. Within a few episodes, this overlooked Netflix series sheds its mawkish exterior and reveals a challenging, deeply curious interior. Atypical follows the ups and downs of a teenager on the autism spectrum as he explores the world outside his comfort zone, tackling harsh realities in honest but touching ways and unafraid to be irreverent amid its sentimentality.
