As We See It (Amazon Prime)

Created by Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights), this new dramedy follows a group of three roommates on the autism spectrum. With the help of their aide Mandy (Sosie Bacon), Jack (Rick Glassman), Harrison (Albert Rutecki), and Violet (Sue Ann Pien) work to keep jobs, develop friendships, and even fall in love. The three 20-somethings each start out with a specific struggle. Jack gets fired from his publishing job, Harrison is afraid to go outside, and Violet wants a boyfriend, badly. Although still surpassingly not common in television and film today, all three actors are on the spectrum.

The Afterparty (Apple TV +)

Starring an all-star cast of comedy favorites, this new murder mystery series is a hilarious twist on the whodunit genre. After attending their 15th annual high school reunion, Aniq (Sam Richardson), Zoe (Zoe Chao), Brett (Ike Barinholtz), Chelsea (Ilana Glazer), Yasper (Ben Schwartz), and more head to an afterparty at pop star Xavier’s (Dave Franco) home. In the first shot of the series, Xavier is found dead after a fall on the rocks below his beach house. Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) and her partner (John Early) come in to solve the crime, which unfolds into a comedic telling of each individual party-goers’ night.
