The A Word

I have just binge watched the three series over the past few days. Couldn't stop watching it. It was so well acted by all. So believable. Some of the other reviews were pretentious twaddle and over analytical why watch a series if you are only giving it a low score there is such a thing as the off button.

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.

This serie is amazing! I'm working with autistic people and I can tell you that it is spot on! (from the autistic behaviours to the special schools and carers) Though, this is not a serie about an autistic kid (like atypical which is about a teenager boy), but it's more about how a family struggles, succeeds, fails, and evolve with a child who is different. The acting is really good, from the kids to the grow-ups (especially Christopher Eccleston). The choice of the songs are also great! I was expecting a fourth season, but I can see on IMDB that it's not going to happen...

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

Wonderful programme, wonderfully acted, wonderful locations, a tour de force. This review is almost necessarily short as I can only find superlatives to write about all the above and a special superlative for the beautiful script. Superb in every way.
