Of all of these Atypical is my favourite as it charts the characters move through high school and into college with all the challanges that I remember along the way.
For just entertainment I think Rick And Morty although it is very adult themed and rude to say the least.

I really enjoyed The Bridge too — I thought the characters were so interesting. Definitely the best thing I've seen on TV.
I love Atypical too and was really surprised that some people gave it a negative press.
Ooh! I loved The Bridge (Bron). Saga Norén is one of my all-time favourite TV characters. Completely unmasked AS.
I have Atypical on my watch list on [forgot name of streaming service]. I must get stuck into it one of these days.
Just finished season 8 of Rick and Morty. My son and I are huge fans. It's genius. Not for the fainthearted, though.
