Critic Reviews of "The A Word - Season 1"
Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-DispatchJuly 13, 2016If The A Word sounds dark and depressing, it isn't. Joe's autism is the central plot point, but this is also a messy soap opera about a family that's always butting heads.
Isaac Feldberg Boston GlobeJuly 12, 2016What drives the show forward, and makes it a landmark portrayal of a disorder too often stigmatized or left undiscussed, is that second, all-important A Word: acceptance.
Kari Croop Hollywood.comAugust 23, 2016Mature themes steer this autism drama into adult territory.
Allison Keene ColliderJuly 13, 2016As the Hughes figure themselves out, making a lot of wrong decisions along the way, it also challenges viewers to consider our own lives and choices, and how we might react to these same situations.
Ken Tucker Yahoo! TVJuly 12, 2016The A Word gathers its own quiet power as a succession of portraits of people under stress without becoming unbearably morose, thanks to regular bits of dotty British eccentricity and a few comic misunderstandings.
Daisy Wyatt Independent (UK)April 04, 2017The soundtrack is a good'un and the scenes of Cumbria are beautiful. If only the script had fewer clunky sex scenes and more told from Joe's perspective.
Sonia Saraiya VarietyJuly 13, 2016At its core, there is a fascinating and unique story of one child's difficult-to-understand world, and his parents who are being dragged into compassion, kicking and screaming all the way.
Frazier Moore Associated PressJuly 12, 2016In its fearless specificity, The A Word is universal, even as it shines light on the special challenges autism imposes on that child and everyone around him.
David Wiegand San Francisco ChronicleJuly 11, 2016If the family members were not so hobbled by overly didactic story lines, "The A Word" might have earned an A.
