More Critic Reviews for Transparent Season 1 All Critics (59) | Top Critics (32) | Fresh (58) | Rotten (1) The show has authenticity and specificity. Sep 25, 2014 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic Transparent, which debuts Friday, is not only a deeply affecting series from creator Jill Soloway, but it's a buzzy, meaningful piece of work that could help Amazon join Netflix in making some real noise in the premium programming arena. Sep 24, 2014 | Full Review… Chuck Barney San Jose Mercury News Top Critic Transparent is anything but its title's most obvious definition -- and everything of its intended one. Sep 24, 2014 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Tambor's heart-rending portrayal of a man finally becoming who he's always feared to be is worth enduring three self-obsessed, not-quite-adults and the emotional wreckage left in their wake. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic Transparent is the most original, daring and confident piece of American TV since Breaking Bad.

Jan 31, 2018 | Full Review… Jade Budowski Decider What a joy and a relief it is to be drawn into a mystery-the mystery of character, the mystery of gender, the mystery of family love-that is so far beyond the provenance and the expertise of the crime-scene squad and the forensic pathologists.
