United Kingdom	Zoya Raza-Sheikh NME	"[4th Season Review]: a flawed but watchable finale (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"[4th Season Review]: The story of a teen on the autism spectrum deciding to voyage independence and self-discovery is an earnest story and one that goes full circle in the final season (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Atypical' is proving yet again why it remains the best half-hour on Netflix’s slate"	POS
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] remains the best show on Netflix"	POS
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] expands its scope and loses some of its focus."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] starts off as a well-written, pedigreed look at autism, made with both humor and heart (...) Repeatedly wrongheaded decisions, mostly from Elsa, turn 'Atypical' into a contrived mess shockingly fast"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"'Atypical' is actually pretty typical (...) Watchable but uneven, the half-hour series dilutes its genuine pathos with characters and situations that seem to have parachuted in from a different show."	NEU
United States	The Playlist	"'Atypical' is the worst thing that Netflix has ever done (...) It’s all been said before, and rarely worse than it’s said here."	NEG
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"The best show Netflix has ever made (...) Every choice 'Atypical' makes in how it tackles the subject matter of autism in young adults is the right one (...) It’s the show we’ve been waiting for"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"As a comedy, it’s marked by good intentions and bad artistic choices (...) Gilchrist and several supporting cast members hold our interest and justify a second season for the show in spite of its flaws."	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Great cast, empathetic writing make 'Atypical' stand out (...) This family is really hard to dislike, and they become people remarkably easy to root for"	POS
