This Show Needs Nuance and Character Development
In theory, this show should be good-really good. It's important to feature atypical people on the spectrum.
But several of the characters are written in a flat, superficial way. The Mandy character (aide / coach) comes off as too chirpy and smiley and is always so quick to connect. The script misses out on the frustrating rough spots she surely would encounter when facilitating this living environment. The actor (Sosie Bacon) tries her hardest, but resembling her parents, along with her acting style being so similar to her dad... this all became a distraction, at least for me.
The character of Violet comes off as whiny, delivered in her squeaky voice, and she is constantly going through a crisis. This quickly becomes tiring for the viewer... her character needs to be fleshed out.
The characters which come across the most genuinely are Jack (played by Rick Glassman) and his dad, Lou (Joe Mantegna)... their interactions feel right, and Glassman's comic timing is the highlight of the show. Chris Pang as Van also delivers a sensitive characterization.
After watching the entire season, I'm not convinced that I should return for Season 2.
