I Am Cait is a surprisingly thoughtful series, especially for a Keeping Up With the Kardashians by-product.
I Am Cait is as moving as you hoped it would be, and as serious and educational as it needs to be--featuring a very controlled message about what it means to be transgender in the year 2015 and what Caitlyn Jenner’s journey does and, more importantly, does not have in common with that reality.
Touching, funny and smart.
Yes, it has its silly and trivial moments, such as the footage of the women's helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon that at least showcases some beautiful scenery. But at its best, I Am Cait tackles tricky subject matter with an admirable complexity that may ironically be the reason for its modest ratings.
In many ways it achieves these aspirations [focusing on advocacy and opening up frank discussions on transition and transgenderism], especially early in the first episode shown to critics.... but in the context of I Am Cait this desire to do good feels shoe-horned in. Even if she wants to be a voice for a marginalized group, and there's nothing to say she does not, it still feels like a producer is pulling the strings, even with the best intentions.
I Am Cait is, on some level, the most respectful melding of television’s notion of cinema verite and Hollywood’s highest form of top-notch, controlled publicity. Rarely could a show be so completely about the management of reactions.
I Am Cait is a respectable TV show with noble motives that easily evades my worst anxieties for it. And in doing so, it slams into what I never, ever could have imagined for it: dullness.
