Proof that comedy, or at least “dramedy,” can be found anywhere, “As We See It” debuts on Amazon Prime. Set in a group home for three young adults on the autism spectrum, each portrays a social helplessness, hopelessness and lack of empathy.
“As We See It” is smart enough to allow some of the charming aspects of its three main characters to emerge while at the same time continually reminding us just how much time and dedication it takes to nurture them through each baby step of socialization.
Don’t go looking for problems to be resolved quickly with hugs and lessons. At the same time, “See It” shows how developing an affection for “difficult” characters can be the most rewarding.
