'Atypical' season 2 trailer suggests a shift from Sam's world into a deeper investigation of other relationships
The trailer to Atypical's second season, released by Netflix on Tuesday, opens with Sam (played by Keir Gilchrist) stating a fact "for most Mammalian species, survival depends on knowing and sticking with your pack." As the trailer suggests, it looks like that Sam's world, with his quest to find true love while overcoming the obstacles that autism brings along with it, will fall apart as his family tries to cope with the changes of life.
Season 1, besides introducing us to the typical family who is actually not so ideal, has established the fact that 'Atypical' strongly revolves around a coming-of-age story about an autistic boy who is trying to fit in a world which otherwise considers itself pretty normal. The first season rang in on a very strong note claiming that no one actually is normal, and what does being normal even mean? Sam's journey, as he sets out to seek true love at the same time realizing all the responsibilities and virtues that come with a relationship, was not his alone. It involved several others who were equally confused about life like Sam, establishing the fact that normal or not- life always screws you.
