Post Transparent (Season 1)
Anybody got to it yet?

It's one of the best shows visually of all time IMO, with a perfect soundtrack. Great cast. It's actually the closest a television show has felt like film to me. Not just of being cinematic, but because it's so recognizably "indie film"

It took me a few episodes for the story and characters to work for me, but I started to love it when realizing the show is about the identity people show to the world vs who they really are, to represent Tambor living his whole life pretending to be someone else. Some of the kids may come off as indie movie cliches at first, but that's just an identity they've been groomed to live. The kids aren't "honest" and "raw", they're closer to the opposite. That's why it's kind of brilliant

I definitely want to check it out but will have to wait for it to hit DVD/Blu-ray.

Binging the second season now and it's absolutely brilliant. Amy Landecker is the star of this season, her performance is amazing. I'm on episode 6 now.

The second season was AMAZING. Better than the first. The last episode was beautiful.

This really shouldn't be classified as a comedy though. This entire season has been nothing but drama with only a few more humorous lines.

Third season dropped this morning. I've watched the first two so far and they're great.
