They also did a good job with Grace coming off as awkward in a quirky but believable way. Often a similar character is either full robot or like changed into the Fonz. Here he seems fairly sociable, but can’t really perform in front of the room, and doesn’t know what to do at the party. But one-on-one he’s at ease and has no trouble bonding.

It’s not book-accurate, but it seems like a more nuanced way to depict an awkward nerd than we usually get and I appreciated that.
