'Atypical' season 2: This time it is about the "art of getting by"
According to Zahid (Nik Dodani), it is actually the people in the autism spectrum who are the normal ones because they are the ones who see the world as it is. That is what Sam (Keir Gilchrist) follows while writing his college application essay in the second season of 'Atypical'. Just like Zahid Casey (Brigette Lundy-Paine), Doug (Michael Rapaport), and Elsa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), too, find themselves on the other side to everything that could possibly be normal.
Unlike the first season, Netflix's 'Atypical' season 2 sees a gradual shift from the world of Sam (and penguins) into the world of a more personal crisis of the people around him. Season 1 left us on a note where almost everything was falling apart. With Casey discovering her mother's sin, Elsa had no other way but to confess her betrayal to Doug. On the other hand, trying to deny her own pregnancy and breaking up with her boyfriend in a fit of rage Julia (Amy Okuda) lashes out at Sam who broke up with his girlfriend, Paige (Jenna Boyd) after she found out she was just an experimental girlfriend to him.
