The Atypical Family quickly went from a ho hum show for me to one that became a must watch each week. Suddenly, we had a show that dealt with concepts in a clever way.

The vehicle used to bring the future into contact with the past was so well done. It made perfect sense.

Was the show insensitive, politically incorrect (or woke for that matter). I didn’t think so. Show was not designed to offend, treat the characters who may have a disadvantage disrespectfully or treat them differently.

We had two huckster families. One that used super powers to secure advantage surreptitiously, one that wasn’t adverse to harming others to get what they wanted. Yet, both were destined to come together. How they did this through their various entanglements quite tickled my fancy.

I quite liked Sauna Mum and her family. The transition they go through from mobster to morally grey was one of the highlights for me.

With SuperGran and her tribe, I’m not sure if show had done enough to convince me of their reform for the better.

Show lost much of its shine for me in the penultimate episodes. We also had the typical kdrama ending kick in. However, I totally enjoyed how show ended. It was clever, neat and really appealed to my sci-fi sensibilities. I gave it 8.5 stars in the end 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥝
