    Even though it is not as tightly structured as season 2, Transparent explores the notions of identity, sexuality and self-discovery even deeper. Jill Solloway & co. really push the boundaries of what TV can do. Highly recommended.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only problem of the story was how it was organized; but let's be honest, it doesn't matter. Transparent takes it to the next level, beyond the scope of excellency. Although I think writers should give Gaby Hoffman better roles since she is such a good actor.'"'>… Expand

    'Transparent' keeps breaking all the rules to prove that human beings don't need to have labels to be loved. This is not only the best trick it has up on its sleve, but it sure is the one that makes it marvellous.

    Spiritual and emotional epiphanies abound in these 10 episodes, about as close as TV comes to living art. [3-9 Oct 2016, p.23]

    And yet for all its mess, for all its sprawl, for all its shagginess, Transparent remains one of TV’s most vital shows and one of its most artful.

    In Season 3, the superb writing and performances make Transparent more satisfying than ever. If there's a standout, it's Light as Shelly, providing most of the comedy as Shelly works on her own one-woman show.
