United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: Quirky, touching, smartly written and beautifully acted, the show actually improves in season two"	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"[2nd Season Review]: Gentle, intelligent drama about autism (...) There’s some power and beauty in this show — and not just the scenery either, but in the humanity itself (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"The whole thing feels slightly underpowered so far – there are another five episodes to come – but there are nevertheless some fine moments."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Brilliant and not to be missed (...) [A] wonderful and beautifully acted little gem of a miniseries about autism"	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"[It] does important work, but substitutes melodrama for complexity (...) [It] is both charming and disconcerting"	NEU
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"For the most part, though, 'The A Word' feels true and honest."	POS
