Gordon says the show has gotten a lot of buzz on Twitter, and a quick search of Rotten Tomatoes will show the series is critically ranked above Ozark and The OA, which is another Netflix original that has received a Season 2 order.
In either case, Seth Gordon tells THR that while Netflix has been vague about the show’s reception with subscribers in Season 1, the Atypical team has seen some good feedback.
Gordon also indicates that he’s aware of the third party methods to obtain viewership information for Netflix shows, although he doesn’t share whether or not the team has looked into those services or what those numbers might say.
