They're real people with real problems in an all-too-real world. "As We See It," in other words, is the perfect Katims show. Best TV newcomer of the new year so far.
As We See It may occasionally veer towards the saccharine, but its big heart, outstanding central trio, and wonderful supporting cast make it must-see TV.
This is that rare gem of a series that will have you laughing out loud one moment and choking up the next. It is brilliant television.
“As We See It” follows in the Katims tradition of heartfelt family drama. It’s a lot to ask of a show to handle all the above [to let people on the autism spectrum be at the centers of their own stories, and to tell those stories with the kind of care they’re otherwise rarely afforded on TV] with both sensitivity and a clear eye for narrative, but Katims and company continually find a way to thread this particularly tricky needle.
Overall this is a confident show that knows its power without landing on the sappy side of sentimental.
The struggle is real, but as we pick up early on, the remedies are not just about the autistic dealing with themselves. It's about the rest of the world dealing with their autism—something that provides the net in a show that, by definition, is walking a comedic high wire. ... "As We See It" probably won't shock anyone with the decision-making contained therein, but the seemingly knotty problems faced by its extraordinary characters are, upon reflection, not so uncommon.
“As We See It” has the potential to show their autistic cast’s true perspectives, but the writing certainly needs to be more reflective of a neurodivergent POV. Pien, Rutecki, and Glassman are great, as is Bacon, but if you’re at all on the spectrum and/or a disabled viewer, expect a lot of treacle that’s not meant to make you feel seen.
