Consistently superb. ... Transparent furthering its proud and frank exploration of how being transgender might closely and eerily mirror the outsider experience of being an American Jew.
Transparent is as beautiful television as ever. ... The characters’ shaggy-dog awkwardness, it must be said, is sometimes shared by the show itself to its detriment. ... But even such missteps are admirable signs of the show insisting on the full humanity of marginalized people, regardless of which side of any given border they’re on.
The acting on Transparent remains superb. ... When a show reaches its fourth season, it can start to hit notes that sound overly familiar, and that does happen in this case. ... Worthwhile, even with those aforementioned hiccups.
As usual, one’s tolerance for Transparent depends on one’s tolerance for the overbearing, over-sharing, boundary-blasting Pfeffermans. But here’s a guarantee: One won’t be bored and one will end this ride with an affirmation, once again, that love may come in all shapes and sizes, but love is still love.
[The trip to Israel] As a change-up intended to place the family in a new, revelatory context, it doesn’t quite work: The Pfeffermans just get on a tour bus and kvetch about the same stuff.
One of TV’s boldest, and most focused series has become shaggy around the edges in its more recent two. At its very best, it’s capable of moments of such beauty and emotional truth that very little of Peak TV can even glance at, let alone touch. But getting there requires more effort, and patience, than before.
The net result is a season that’s successful in parts but hangs together awkwardly as a whole.
