Critic Reviews for Transparent Season 1
All Critics (59) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (58) | Rotten (1)
The show has authenticity and specificity.
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.
Transparent is anything but its title's most obvious definition -- and everything of its intended one.
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.
After ten episodes, we still want to know more about [te family], even if we realize that, like real people, they'll remain essentially opaque.
Each episode of "Transparent" maintains the cozy relationships and wry humor without sacrificing narrative drive. The amazing thing about it is just how effortless it seems.
One of the least cynical, most convincing shows about religion that's offered on television.
It is a few steps away from the great contemporary comedies, although for the moment it can be tolerated thanks to some cathartic sequences where group work helps to cloud those undesirable attacks of interpretive hysteria. [Full Review in Spanish]
... without the perfect cast behind [Tambor, Light, Landecker, Duplass, and Hoffmann], the show may never have been as successful.
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.
The show is a surprisingly funny dark comedy, and the writing, with its many jabs at our gluten-free culture, is sharp and insightful.
Transparent is either the best new series most people are unlikely to see or the best excuse Amazon can give you for signing up for a month's free trial. You can tell them Maura sent you.
Audience Reviews for Transparent: Season 1

Feb 08, 2021This is possibly the worst trash show ever produced period. After the first episode I could not continue watching. Please don't even consider letting anyone under the age of 18 watch this. Jill Soloway must be something else. I cannot believe that this series could rate as high as it did.

Dec 29, 2017Puntaje Original: 7.0 Una serie necesaria para los tiempos modernos, con un gran reparto que nos ofrece brillantes actuaciones y una historia divertida e intima.

Dec 10, 2016Ok, this is the best show I've ever seen if laughs, shocks, and craving a show is what youre looking for. I have no dog in the fight on the issues it covers, I just have to admit youll be on the edge of your seat. Only dry spot was the ...spoiler....rabbi/adoption theme. Bo. ring. part. Otherwise, a real treasure of a show.

Sep 14, 2016Annoyed by all the characters. The only part of the first 2 seasons I liked was the flashbacks.

Jan 30, 2016proprio oggi, in concomitanza col family day, ho completato questa prima stagione di transparent; e niente, mi sono reso conto di una cosa: mica l'ho capito io cosa sia 'sta famiglia tradizionale.

Jan 27, 2016Great show. Excellent acting and superb story.

Jan 12, 2016So exhilarating to see a story being told that hasn't been told innumerable times before. Jeffrey Tambor, Judith Light, Gaby Hoffmann et al are riveting to watch, and the writing digs right into one's heart. Highly-recommended!
