    Interesting at times for exploring history and gender, but this show is mostly about extremely selfish people being incredibly awful to each other in the name of "growth" (which never turns out to be real character growth). Every once in a while, some of the characters do act tenderly toward each other, but those brief moments are swamped by cold manipulation, selfish motivation, evenInteresting at times for exploring history and gender, but this show is mostly about extremely selfish people being incredibly awful to each other in the name of "growth" (which never turns out to be real character growth).

    Comparing the 'professional' reviews to viewers' may have to do with what in the circle of the first is
    the 'in' thing to like. The firste season was great. This one is like web cam watching.

    A TV series that makes revolutionary art seem both irresistible and inevitable.

    Its characters use politics as a pretext for making ungenerous choices, and thereby risk undermining the credibility of those politics in general. This allows Transparent to be more bracing, more challenging, and more compelling than most any other show on TV.

    Transparent's second season is the best television of the year.... Season two was an improvement in every way, small and lovely and achingly resonant.
