One of the main characters, Norma, is an autistic girl. I love how well she's written because autistic girls rarely get representation. Autism is typically seen as a "male" condition, so people aren't aware of the ways it can manifest in females. I think she is a great step forward for positive, productive depictions of autism in media.
I also really enjoyed Barney's story. He is great representation as well because he is a gay trans guy. His baggage of having to deal with animosity from family members is relatable, even if you aren't trans. I love his growth in the series, as well as Norma's, Pugsly's, and Courtney's.
The mystery aspect of the show was a little hard for me to follow, as the characters would often quickly present a lot of information at once (with little time to process between clues), but I was able to understand by the end. I think it was an interesting plot overall. I loved the found family vibe of this show, and the musical episode was amazing!
Ignore the people whining in these reviews about the "trans agenda" or whatever. Just give it an honest shot.
