An earnest, heartwarming journey of self-discovery unfolds as an autistic teen upends his family.
Wholesome humor. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Netflix.
For a TV-14, this one goes further: moderate sex and nudity. Beyond that, some strong language and no real violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Sam, an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum, takes a funny, yet painful, journey of self-discovery for love and independence and upends his family.
