The A.V. Club - Danette Chavez

Jun 11, 2019

Pose applies the lessons learned from real-world history as well as its own to deliver a second season that’s just as lovingly crafted as its first, but with even grander spectacle and greater urgency—and in so doing, makes wearing your heart on your sleeve look downright fashionable.

What’s remarkable is how much Pose manages to accomplish simultaneously—and without sacrificing the specificity of each character’s personality, relationships or aspirations. ... For producing such an extraordinary, uncompromising second season, everyone involved in the show deserves to take a bow. Read full review

At times, some of the dialogue affirming Blanca's choices to live and dream and hope feels like she's giving speeches pointed directly at the audience. Anywhere else, this might seem strained, but for Pose it's vital. Read full review

The spectacle of “Pose” is a meticulous construct, one dazzles the beholder while concurrently prioritizing the humanity of its players. And in this new season the writers, including the creators along with Our Lady J and Janet Mock, who also directs, cash in some of that currency the show has built in popular culture by emphasizing visibility.

Thus far, thankfully, the return to Pose isn't disappointing, and its promises, progressive and dramatic, are largely delivered upon. Read full review

Rolling Stone - Alan Sepinwall

Jun 10, 2019

Innate decency and hopefulness casts a lovely spell over the whole endeavor, both last year and in Season Two. The story threads can feel thin and frayed at even the best of times, but the warmth of the series’ vision makes coherence much less important than the power of individual moments. Read full review

The Atlantic - Sophie Gilbert

Jun 12, 2019

Pose has always been a worthwhile series rather than a well-crafted one, and its writing in Season 2 veers all over the place, between heartfelt, didactic, over-explanatory, and anachronistic. But strangest of all is the way the series fluctuates in its tone and sense of humor. ... Pose is at its best when it owns the inherent seriousness of its subject matter. Read full review

For 1 entire week, I was grooving to Madonna's Vogue! But, more importantly, I now know what it meant back in the day. The song still feels like it was made in our current time. and Pose....is truly a very special show that I have grown to love. I love everything about it!
