Maura finally comes out to Ali, and they join Sarah on a field trip to the mall -- where they all get rude lessons in womanhood; Josh is forced to confront his past, thanks to questions from Syd about his longtime relationship with Rita.
When Shelly's husband Ed goes missing, Sarah, Josh and Ali set out to find him; Ali can no longer keep Maura's secret from Josh, which sends him into a tailspin; Maura runs into a Pfefferman family friend and takes a stand for her new identity.

In a flashback, Mort escapes with friend Mark to a cross-dressing retreat in the woods, and becomes captivated with a very accepting woman named Connie. Left alone after cancelling her Bat Mitzvah, Ali finds trouble with an older man at the beach.
Maura finds solace with ex-wife Shelly, and the two hatch a plot to help Ed realize his wishes; Sarah spends time with her ex-husband and begins to question their breakup; Raquel finally breaks through to Josh; the family is summoned to Shelly's.

Jun 06, 2018Transparent - Season 1 ?????

Apr 08, 2018I was attracted to the premise, but i just didn't find it funny. might try again later
-
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!
-
Dec 12, 2015An unfunny comedy and bland drama.
-
Dec 07, 2015Phenomenal. Loved every minute of it, cannot wait for season 2 !
