The A Word

Very good show, presenting a side of the Autism spectrum and the challenges parents and the community face. I also like the way the show deals with controlling people, and how controlling and self-centered people have an extremely hard time trying to control the Autistic, who in turn refuse to play their games.

Love every moment of this serie. Realistic and touching. Third season has been much better than expected.

Of the different families. Maurice is my favorite but the rest of them run him a close second. I didn't know there were additional series so I just started watching the latest one. The daughter situation sounds promising. I've never had daily contact with someone on the the spectrum so I'm learning a lot about that. Thanks a million Sundance for a very entertaining and education show. A followup - episode 5 (Nov 23) was one of the best ever.

Season 1 was fantastic but the next two seasons just kept dragging on. One hour is too long for an episode; there were times where I was like "this is a great scene to end with" and I look at the duration and there's twenty minutes left. The direction of romantic relationships in this show doesn't make sense to me either.

The show has an overall great mix of drama, comedy, romance and a bit of crime. The actor of joe is very convincing and isn't just a spoilt child who was picked from stage school. The drama is great as well as the developed characters in the show, the musical score is awesome as well as the scenery. It never rains, advertising for the Lake District? Good amount of comedy and mostly a good drama overall.
