THE A WORD
July 13, 2016  | By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This six-part British series, based on a drama series from Israel, is about a family slowly realizing that its youngest member, a 5-year-old boy named Joe (Max Vento), belongs on the autism spectrum. The parents, played by Lee Ingleby and Morven Christie, get their first hints at Joe’s fifth birthday party – but there are other reactions to register and absorb, from Joe’s older sister and his aunt and uncle to Joe’s crusty grandfather, played by the show’s most recognizable star, Christopher Eccleston.
