An eye-opener that’s also funny, real and compelling, the series is a heartwarming reminder that no matter who we are, we’re all born this way.
This new season contains a number of reality show tropes, foremost among them being a season-long plan for a major event--this one being the wedding of a major character. At the same time such adventures most of us take for granted, such as getting a driver’s license, entering into a relationship or moving out on one’s own, are depicted with the extra level of care and vulnerability these milestones merit.
The show nonetheless manages to stay dignified and realistic (in a reality-TV kind of way).
Born spends a lot of time following the group as they socialize but is at its most compelling when it tracks the complicated bonds tethering these young people to their parents.
The show, with its confessional-style interviews and constant self-promotion within the episode (every commercial break lets you know what’s coming next), has the beat and feel of Real World. By treating the cast of Born This Way in much the same way they would treat any reality-show participants, the producers avoid any kind of condescending or patronizing tone.
