The first ep does a great job in showing us the family dynamics and who each character is. Great at giving us a preview of what the rest of the show will be like.
Sam is a sweet kid who has austism, is the "typical" case of what we would consider on the spectrum: has trouble with nonverbal communcation, is literal about everything, has obsessions, has trouble with physical touch, and has a hard time socializing. But he is also a typical normal teenager, trying to figure out who he is and where he fits in a world he feels he's not a part of.
Love the glimpse we see of Sam and his sister, Casey. She is protective of him while at the same time loving to annoy him and tease him.
Their parents are struggling to figure out how to help their son fit into a world that isn't made for him. And also how much this struggle causes strain on their relationship, with each other and with their children.
Overall, good first episode that gives a great introduction of who the characters are, what the premise is about, and what to expect of the storyline and tone in the rest of the season.
