Reviews

A review by Joe

Written on March 2, 2017

I love this show! It's actually quite a personal thing for me, as I am an autistic male, called... Joe! Unlike my fictional counterpart, I was diagnosed at 10, not 5, but this show definitely draws on familiar experiences.

With regards the other characters, well, obviously his sister Rebecca is lovely, while her friend is awesome too! Uncle Eddie, played by the amazing Greg McHugh, is a delight...
