I enjoyed the slow burn. Sam Neill is excellent. He does a great job of portraying someone who's holding back. While the series progresses he keeps you guessing as to the type of person he might be. It's easy to say in retrospect that you knew the answer all along but, honestly, he made me wonder and I really enjoyed the journey. Annette Bening also does an excellent job of portraying a woman coming to terms with the meaning of her life upon retirement. Her kids are grown and she finds herself being alone with her husband. What happens when your identity for so long has been defined by your family and your profession? Was it all worth it? I enjoyed finding out.

As We See It

Very Realistic

I have a 17 year old "high" functioning son and can tell you that the portrayals of different forms of "high" functioning autism are very accurate. My son is like Jack. He's smart but very blunt. His teen group is filled with Jacks, Violets and Harrisons. The series doesn't sugarcoat autism. There are highs and there are lows...as in life. I thought the acting was superb. Our kids aren't easy but they are so worth it. I hope folks who aren't familiar with autism will watch this series.
