This very funny and sharply executed comedy series has a big heart, underneath a thick layer of dry, cheeky humour. The eponymous Austin is a 28-year-old autistic man, played with understated but thoroughly irresistible charm by Michael Theo, who was one of the stars of the ABC reality show Love on the Spectrum.
As the series begins, Austin’s preparing to introduce himself to his biological father, Julian, a British children’s book author who is unaware of his existence. Julian is perfectly brought to life by another irresistible, albeit more petulant, performance from British comedian Ben Miller.
