I like the first episode becouse to me is good the help of the sister of sam, and the acting of the people si nice old the acting of the famili,the start of the series.
I think that the episode and actors developed very well and the drama was beutifull. The Actors make the episode more enjoyable like Sam's friends, its so funny.
This opening certainly introduces both characters and themes of the series in an extremely effective way. Peppered with funny scenes, the series manages to present Sam's and his family's lives: all of them shaped by Sam's condition.
Zahid already stands out, even being a secondary character, as an incredible comic relief. He adds humour and strikes a balance compensating for Sam's innocent perception of reality.
The choice of Antartica and penguins as the motif to allow the character to reflect upon life is both hilarious and profound.
The story of the parents is somewhat slow at times, but it certainly adds a layer of complexity to the series.
Definitely worth watching.

I really liked this chapter and how it introduced us to Sam's daily life and it's really great that we get to see how he struggles with "common things" that most people of his age do (like dating) and I liked that they show us his way of "seeing life" and thinking.
Although the characters were well developed the parent's acting was not that good and I didn't liked them. I really liked Zahid's and Cassie's roles.
This episode was really good and capturing, i'm interested about how the show is going to continue!!

I guess that this episode is a great start and its interesting what happened with the boy and his love life. Sometimes its a bit inapropriate for young children but the good thing is that those parts are not explicit.

- TriviaThis first season attracted some criticism for not featuring any real actors with autism. Considering that the show is about that subject, it was rather noticeable that no one in the cast actually had that condition. This was something that was immediately redressed in the subsequent seasons.
