So many times quote on quote representation for those on the spectrum, fails to accurately and actually represent anyone. I've seen it time and time again, and I can say with 100% certainty that this is not the case with a kind of spark. As a neurodivergent woman myself, a kind of spark nails what shows in America have never dared, and that's to paint authentic autistic stories in a positive light. Atypical made us out to be a problem. The good doctor is a sterotype, and the only good representation that barely got by in the states was Everything's gonna be ok. But with a show like A kind of Spark, finally, there is a story with a positive family who understand that while their children are autistic, they are far from being burdens, and they are afar from being problems. The ableism in the show is clear, and the ignorance still rings true to today, I have experienced it myself. Some of it from teachers, and some of it from total strangers or even peers. A kind of spark dares to show a wide facet of the autistic experience in both its protagonists, keedie & Addie, and it is completely and utterly needed. Shows before it, movies before it, fell short. And finally, after all these years, of needing a show that will make many of those on the spectrum feel seen, and heard and absolutely understood, A kind of spark does all this and more. Season 2 is going to be amazing and I hope more people, specifically neurodivergent people, realize we can tell our own stories and that our voices are important to be heard. I want more shows and books and stories about Autistic people for autistic people with autistic individuals and actors at the forefront. Because it is valuable.

The long & the short, this show is for the neurodivergents, and it's 100% worth your time. It's beautiful. It's sweet. It has heart. It's honest, endearing, encouraging, and incredible.

Fans of the wolf among us will enjoy this passionately crafted fan series that takes everything that made the games and comics from the 90's stand out. From the music to the costuming, the grounded acting, and the unique plot. Fabletown is Everything you ever wanted, out of the long anticipated sequel to the original game, can all be found here. Through the creator's brilliant portrayal of the fables characters we all know and love, this is a series that many will enjoy, especially if they enjoy the genre of Noir fantasy Drama. If you enjoyed titles such as Grimm, once upon a time, or True Detective, I would highly recommend you check out Fabletown via their YouTube channel. It is absolutely worth a binge watch or two, fellow Mundies.
