One of the best portrayals of autism in cinema, and in a main character too which I've never seen before! Don't know if it was intended by the author, but I haven't related to a character this much until now (as an autistic person) despite the supernatural aspect.

To name a few things that I related to, include sensory sensitivities, intense emotional experiences, affective empathy, meltdowns, guilt/grief, being oblivious to social trends, excessive self-monitoring, and masking, all of which is captured very well, in detailed and experimental art-style/animation.

Most importantly, this show displays the idea that a lack of facial expression does not mean a lack of emotional experience and empathy. Emotional experiences are often intense in autism and many individuals experience hyper affective empathy (different from cognitive empathy which entails reading people's emotions through body cues and having the right response to them, which is difficult for autistic individuals).

This is in stark contrast with stereotypical portrayals in other shows where autistic characters are presented as cold, logical, non-emotional, adamant on being proven correct, and present for comedic relief.

I have watched quite a few of Nabeel Qureshi's movies and so far they've been a hit or miss. This movie shares similar features with Actor in Law, namely it is very unfocused, and it gives up well constructed plot and characters for the sake of being preachy. Being preachy is not a bad thing but when it is done at the expense of well written plot, it becomes pointless.

By being unfocused I mean it seems to have a dilemma on whether to talk about the MC's romance and what it entails, or his sister's wedding and the "Jahez". At the end it picks the latter.

Taking suicide so lightly and having a simplistic view of it is in bad taste.

Characters actions are arbitrary or they have facile reasons.

The romance element defines what generic is.

The tone shifts from melodrama to comedic relief quite frequently leaving me confused. In my opinion it would have been better if the movie kept the comedy element in its entirety and had made fun of absurd beliefs in the form of satire.

The way this movie started gave no indication of having potential and unfortunately at the end it remain true to that. I do like the message however, and there were some funny moments.

This show is beyond repetitive, it uses the same jokes in every episode. Someone needs to tell the writers that the same joke repeated twice is not funny, let alone using it countless times over hundreds of episodes.

Can't believe this show got popular. Even the acting is overdone to the point of cringe. All I gotta say is,
