Some of my autistic friends called this show disability porn but I loved it. All the characters seemed to have exaggerated versions of my traits. I will be sure to watch this
Having seen all six episodes, I'll just say that the most obvious difference from the Australian version is the lack of LGBTQ+ representation. As I said in my thread in Television, Film, and Video, you can take this as either a spoiler or a warning.

Wow WAST changed their call letters, back in "my day" they were WAST (I had to Google it but was certain there was no WNYT in the Capital District way back when).
