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.

Can Monsters Love?Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love? Some experts believe psychopaths can feel attachment, but not empathy — they might need someone, but not care for them in the way most of us understand....

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Raising Voices-A Messy Start That Becomes Something Powerful

Raising Voices (original title: Ni Una Más ) is the kind of show that initially made me want to stop watching — and then made me glad I didn’t. Based on the novel by Miguel Sáez Carral , this Spanish Netflix series explores teen life, sexual violence, and the power of speaking out. It's not always subtle, but it's effective. At First, It Felt Like Too Much The first couple of episodes? Honestly, I didn’t love them. It felt like the writers were trying to cram every possible issue related to sexual assault into one high school. Revenge porn, harassment, grooming, slut-shaming, rape culture — all at once. It was overwhelming. I wasn’t sure where to focus. Instead of building empathy, it felt like the show was going for pure shock value. It was hard to care when everything was dialed up to 100. But then something clicked. Maybe That Chaos Was the Point That disorientation — not knowing exactly what’s wrong, just feeling that something is — turns out to be inten...
