Clean Slate

Let me preface my review by saying I am a 71 year old White Grandfather with very limited experience with Transexual people.

I have always been very supportive of this community. Imdont need to know "details" to make transexual folks feel excepted and "safe"

This program really deeply touched me. At several points I found myself weeping. I am so very grateful for this program - it is helping me to understand what it means to be transexual. And what it means to be a family member of a Transexual.

The actors are perfectly cast - especially Laverne Cox. She is a National Treasure.

I encourage viewers to set aside preconceived prejudices and watch the program with an open mind.

And, for the "Good Christians" who find the topic uncomfortable. The Bible tells us very clearly NOT to judge other people. It also says specifically to be KIND to one another and to LOVE one another.

This show is so darn cute!! It's so, so needed with so much division in the US right now.

I love the premise. It's perfectly sweet and funny without too much sappiness or silliness; a seamless watch...something for everyone (except maybe those with hearts of hate).

I really like the cast, especially George Wallace, Laverne Cox, Jay Wilkison & Norah Murphy.

I appreciate a little bit of fluff & fun around such a serious topic of family neglect/abandonment. I also really like that it's about an adult child coming home to not only connect with their folks, but also to restart and reconnect with their childhood town.

Anyone who is offended by a trans person needs to re-evaluate their lives; it's embarrassing and shameful to be so touched by something that has zero effect on one's life. You need to mind your OWN business...or stay mad; it will just end you sooner!

If you're looking for a truly adorable sitcom that illicit's laughs & tears of joy~this is going to be your jam!!!

I just loved it all. Excellent characters, genuine laughter all along the eight episodes, and impecable actors. The small sourhern Alabama tone, far beyond the typical and boring stereotype, is just amazing.

It reflects very well the everyday life inthe South, the struggles in balance with the energy and determination of people to make it right. The plot is very well curated, it builds tension with such mastery. The way it makes you relate to the different characters and their life story is deeply valuable. The production in general demonstrates care on making the story and the scenes a one perfectly blended recipe.

The first episode's writing may have been a little bit awkward and unnatural, but by the last episode I was literally crying as Laverne Cox's character goes through a healing process.

It discusses a lot of issues facing our modern world and does so in a wonderfully comedic way. From transphobia and religion, to Jan 6th and the women who walked at Selma, they touched on so much. While I know it is meant to be a lighthearted show, my only note would be to maybe include a story or two of characters who weren't able to mend fences or weren't supported when they came out, just cause there are plenty of ppl out there with that experience, and it ended up feeling like an underrepresented reality in such a relevant subject.

I loved all the supporting characters who are played by a wonderful cast of comedians, and I must say I was very impressed by the young Norah Murphy!

Thank you Laverne Cox for your unending talent and courageous representation of the queer community!

Is this groundbreaking content? No. Does it need to be? Also no.

We've come to expect that any media featuring trans identities needs to be educational, righteous, progressive, and informative of their experiences. It doesn't!

It's refreshing to have a mindless primetime sitcom featuring a trans main character- but not have the storylines solely focused on that single characteristic.

Of course the topic is navigated at intersections where it makes sense, but it is by no means focused on her gender identity.

Instead, the show is focused on themes and plot lines we've come to expect from our comfort sitcoms, with plenty of laughs to go around too.

Hoping they get a season 2. I need more Laverne Cox on my screen because that woman is a STAR.
