Shows that feel likeAtypical (2017–2021)
If you loved Atypical, the closest series we have are Freaks and Geeks (1999), Love, Victor (2020) and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017). All three share Atypical's contemplative and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Captain Tsubasa (2018).
If Atypical hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: high school and growing up


Contemplative and witty in the same breath

The same preoccupation in both: high school


Both land play and wistfulness at once
The difference: Sits closer to animation than Atypical does

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that


Both are built on the same subject: lgbt

Drama with a pulse of wistfulness, in both cases
The difference: Takes it somewhere less witty than Atypical does

Comedy built on play, twice over

Both lean on wit more than on comedy
The difference: Trades the stillness of Atypical for an angle of its own
In the mood for more contemplative?
