If you want to be sure of quality, watch ANY BBC show. This is no exception.

Just watched the first series, and agree with above review that the boy's family are pretty unlikeable, but that's what the show is about. - how their bad behaviour impacts on others. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people around that behave that way, so it's realistic. I enjoyed the show. Any fans of 80's Indie music will love the score. Edit ... started watching S2 but it went downhill fast .Gave up at E3 ... just boring!

An excellent show, though among the current abundance of autism spectrum shows, this is significantly less heartwarming, more heart wrenching in that typical gritty BBC style. The second season is a bit more mellow in some ways so far, one actual LOL moment for me. Definitely worth a watch, if only to see Christopher Eccleston as a socially bumbling grandfather.

I love this show! It's actually quite a personal thing for me, as I am an autistic male, called... Joe! Unlike my fictional counterpart, I was diagnosed at 10, not 5, but this show definitely draws on familiar experiences.

With regards the other characters, well, obviously his sister Rebecca is l More
