Consistently superb. ... Transparent furthering its proud and frank exploration of how being transgender might closely and eerily mirror the outsider experience of being an American Jew. Read full review

Transparent is as beautiful television as ever. ... The characters’ shaggy-dog awkwardness, it must be said, is sometimes shared by the show itself to its detriment. ... But even such missteps are admirable signs of the show insisting on the full humanity of marginalized people, regardless of which side of any given border they’re on. Read full review

The whole is much more cohesive, but the individual stories take some shortcuts. Read full review

As usual, one’s tolerance for Transparent depends on one’s tolerance for the overbearing, over-sharing, boundary-blasting Pfeffermans. But here’s a guarantee: One won’t be bored and one will end this ride with an affirmation, once again, that love may come in all shapes and sizes, but love is still love. Read full review

[The trip to Israel] As a change-up intended to place the family in a new, revelatory context, it doesn’t quite work: The Pfeffermans just get on a tour bus and kvetch about the same stuff. Read full review

Season 4 feels like it’s caught in an identity crisis of its own doing; not trusting itself to be the beautiful series that doesn’t fit neatly into any one box. Read full review

The net result is a season that’s successful in parts but hangs together awkwardly as a whole. Read full review

Transparent continues to explore the transgression of borders, but Season 4 feels a bit pedantic. Too often this season the writing wants to tell us what we should know rather than allowing story lines to develop to show us the significance of crossing borders. The acting remains strong,Transparent continues to explore the transgression of borders, but Season 4 feels a bit pedantic.

The acting remains strong, but with weaker dialogue, it's harder for the actors to shine as they might with better writing.… Expand
