Critic Reviews
The TelegraphAug 9, 2021
Season 3 Review:
The show itself feels increasingly conservative. It’s a cosy family drama, offering up neat lessons, unfailing optimism and traditional signifiers of success, such as expensive apartments and glossy social lives. That sentimental and aspirational sheen might well offer radical hope to those who have been excluded from society, and from our stories. But it turns a drama into a victory parade.

Season 2 Review:
Pose has always been a worthwhile series rather than a well-crafted one, and its writing in Season 2 veers all over the place, between heartfelt, didactic, over-explanatory, and anachronistic. But strangest of all is the way the series fluctuates in its tone and sense of humor. ... Pose is at its best when it owns the inherent seriousness of its subject matter.

Season 1 Review:
Pose owns its shamelessness in earnest, artless yet enjoyable melodramatic stories about these societal rejects. [11 - 24 Jun 2018, p.12]

Season 3 Review:
There's a lot of love, but a lot less compelling storytelling. At least showrunner Steven Canals has finally pared down the series to its most interesting characters: the parental figures. ... It's hard to begrudge these opulent happy endings to a marginalized group whose real-life counterparts met such tragically violent and premature deaths, but there's also something nigglingly inorganic (if not boringly bougie) about their five-star happily-ever-afters.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a TV show from one of the most canny creators working today, yet as a viewing experience it can feel like an object lesson. ... So many of the people on Pose are strong women, trans paragons, and this comes at the expense of them being recognizably flawed human beings.
