"Pose" is a drama spotlighting the legends, icons and ferocious house mothers of New York's underground ball culture, a movement that gained notice in the 1980s. After receiving life-altering news and losing her first real home, Blanca starts her own "house," a self-selected family that provides support to LGBTQ youth rejected by their birth families. Making television history, "Pose" features the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles, as well as the largest recurring cast of LGBTQ actors ever for a scripted series.

Critics Consensus

Though it's entirely too short, Pose's final season is a joyously entertaining celebration of life that is not to be missed.

It's a visual delight, a showcase for new talent (standouts include Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, and Angel Bismark Curiel), and, ultimately, a tearjerker that earns its emotional conclusion.

We can say that Season 3 lightens the mood of the show considerably; its more Sex & the City than Paris is Burning.

Season 3 at times borders on Misery Porn, I didn't like the Pray Tell arc, but I loved the wedding episode. Papi and Angel really grew on me over the last three seasons. The short length of this one meant that most other characters fell off the wagon, however.

A thoughtful and well considered representation of lives lived on the fringes... I knew it had to end, I'm still sad it ended... but, it's better to stop while you're ahead.

Pose is truly magnificent, it successfully represents these characters as living beings without ever falling in the traps of stereotypes and tokenism. Every flaw this season might have can be easily forgiven.

I am so sad to say goodbye to a series that is so special with a season which everything felt rushed, as undercooked as glamorous.

Billy Porter was literally perfect and amazing and the Blanca actress too. Honestly alot of them were great, I was just frustrated about the Judy and Electra actresses not delivering their lines well enough and also who wrote the script for Papi and his son? Aint nobody in their right mind watch over their kid to "make sure they color inside the lines", like what?? Also every the majority of the actors/actresses were posing constantly which felt fake but oh well, maybe t was to honor ballroom? Anyways this season was prolly the best and it got me crying too.

Sensitive to the issues of HIV from the 80's. Gave a good understanding of issues faced by trans and gay people. Porter is a star.
