Transparent: Pilot (2014)
Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
Beautiful and Heartfelt
20 February 2015
The strength of this show is the vivid and realistic characters who are perfectly flawed. Watching an episode is like taking a roller-coaster ride on the Emotional Express. There's so many heartfelt moments usually followed by a comedic moment that might range from a smile to a sincere laugh.

The subject is hard to watch at times but that's what makes great viewing! It's extremely relevant to today's world and watching an episode educates, empathizes and entertains in a tasteful, non-campy way. Having a man who is over 70 with three grown children and (gasp!) grandchildren adds a dimension to the show beyond those of younger trans people. I'm so glad I discovered this show.
