Season 2 helps further break the preconceived mold that this is "The Autism Family Show." While Sam's disorder provides a unique perspective to the world of Atypical, the show is about so much more than that. Season 2 pushes this even further, as it was supposed to do, and finds new ways to enlighten, inspire and surprise by endearing us deeper to its characters.

The result is distinguished by admirably low-key performances, much like in season one, but it doesn’t rise to the level of must-watch. ... It ambles along, showing us people struggling with the stuff of life without making that struggle compelling enough to make me fully invested in it.

Atypical season 2 has delivered the immersive storyline that it needed to set up a successful third season. All ten episodes of this season created the edge of your seat entertainment that forces the viewer to crave the next episode, something which it did so well in season 1. There are plenty of new avenues to be explored in future seasons and I look forward to seeing all of the characters' development.

this show was way too good and there just better be a season three. The show actually gets you emotional and makes you feel a connection with the characters and I would say season two was better than season one even though season one was also great.

This show is so good and important, and I loved season 2 so much ! I think it was even better than the first, some characters really got better and more deep (Zahid, Paige...). The last episodes made me cry a lot ! I'm really hoping for a third season

Excels the previous with the compelling life of autist Sam Gardner, who gains new experiences and knowledge from friends, and parents and her sister, with the adequate touch of humor and sense of respect for autism. The final chapter makes me wish ask for me.

I did not enjoy this as much as season 1, Sam is still my favourite and when a scene is about him, it's great, but more and more I felt bored with the other characters and cliche predicable storylines.
