Review by lonnie-adamsjr

Transparent

6/10

Started out great, then sort of fizzled out...

When it comes to the last episode, there's ZERO reason to watch after the BIG news. If the last episode hadn't been the finale episode already, that episode would have killed the show for good.

The show started going into a downward spiral midway through season 3. The entire Rita storyline after the mall incident, Ali's rotating story arcs, the pilgrimage, Shelley's twisted life...

Towards the end, it was like they wanted to see how much sex, mental illness, and religion could be crammed into each episode. It's almost as though they were purposely trying to get the show canceled.

The "kids" were some of the most dysfunctional, self-entitled, needy kids that seemed to get worse as the show progressed. The deeper we moved into the fourth season, the more it seemed like they were trying to portray the show as a political statement.
