Atypical - Season 4 Review

Atypical is back, and with it, Sam’s adventures. It is time for Sam to move forward, have his own place, and all the responsibilities that come with it. Is he ready?

How will Sam face adult life challenges?

Having a roommate

Like many other young adults, Sam is moving with a roommate. Who could be better for this job than his best friend, Zahid?

Things aren’t easy. They do everything for each other but living under the same roof is something else. It requires adaptation.

What’s my path?

Sam faces, as we all do, the inevitable choice of the path to take. What am I good at? What’s the path I should follow? What’s the right choice? Those questions are tough to answer, but Sam is fortunate. He knows what he wants. The problem is: how to achieve it?

I especially like that perspective because it’s so realistic. It is hard to find out what you want and need, and once you know it… What’s the next step? Nothing is given to Sam, and he teaches us a good lesson: how to fight for your goals, how to persevere, and don’t give up.

Autism’s impact on the family

Since episode one, this has been a constant topic on the show. As well as any other mother, Elsa fights with herself. She struggles with her overwhelming protective feelings to let him grow. She wants him to be independent, but she is also worried. Sam always needed her, and no matter how proud she is of him, it hurts that she’s no longer a priority in his life.

This has been a recurrent topic on the show. Yet, this season showed a different perspective on how Sam’s autism impacts the family. His sister, Casey, is struggling with anxiety and depression, and no one truly noticed for a long time.

It is not like Elsa and Doug were bad parents. At all. When you have a “problematic” son, other issues may happen around you without you noticing. It is a real problem many parents struggle with.

Step by Step

The show continues with its premise. It explores Sam’s growth and maturing process while dealing with the fact that he is different and how that impacts everyone around him.

It is a great quality show, and it has been able to keep both the quality and interest of the story.

I loved the ending chose for Sam - a happy ending.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV. A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood.

Yet, it left us wanting more. I believe that for many viewers, it heightened the excitement for what lies ahead. With the foundation laid in the initial season, there is great potential for the upcoming season to address any lingering questions and provide, once more, good entertainment. Chal
