Review of Rurangi

Rurangi (2020)
10/10
Best portrayal of the transmasc experience
7 September 2022
I am a transgender man, and I have never seen a fictional show that so accurately describes my experiences-the awkwardness of meeting people who knew you pre-transition, inappropriate questions from strangers, struggling with family and dating, etc. It's all so accurate. I've felt these things, I've seen my friends feel these things. I also appreciate the fluidity and depth shown in the other characters. They have interests and backstories, not everything is about caz and not everything is about him being trans, but everything IS queer and feels very authentic. Its a bonus that it is made by queer people and stars trans people in trans roles. I usually only watch my favorite shows twice, and almost never watch shows three times. I've seen rurangi three times. Every time I am watching it I am so overcome with emotion. I think about it all day after finishing it, and highly recommend it.
