Season 4 Review:
One of TV’s boldest, and most focused series has become shaggy around the edges in its more recent two. At its very best, it’s capable of moments of such beauty and emotional truth that very little of Peak TV can even glance at, let alone touch. But getting there requires more effort, and patience, than before.

Season 5 Review:
It just doesn’t add up, whether you look at it from a practical standpoint or a broader figurative assessment. The “Transparent” finale feels like a desperate flailing for attention that betrays what the show did best and, worse still, such contradictory pomp comes from a series that knows it should’ve gone quietly into the night, rather than clawing tooth and nail for another day of sun.

Season 5 Review:
A self-indulgent experiment egregious even for the most self-indulgent characters on television, Musicale Finale feels hastily composed, a tacked-on coda from a visionary who has already moved onto brighter horizons, such as the underrated I Love Dick. Truthfully, few of the actors seem prepared for their big numbers.

Season 5 Review:
There is a lot about it that doesn’t quite work, specifically pretty much the entire first half of it. But the fact that it doesn’t all work is part of what makes this an appropriate farewell. The Musicale Finale takes what can be frustrating about Transparent and what’s also so sublime and lovely about it, then distills all of that into a single song-and-dance-filled curtain call.
