    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! It is so well made..and just when you think that Ryan Murphy can't possibly do better! he goes and tops himselfFor 1 entire week, I was grooving to Madonna's Vogue!

    I like the series, I think this season, although it did not have as much impact as the first, was very good, giving good turns with the characters and although I resented the death of Candy, I liked that even if it happened they gave a perfect tribute, which she deserves

    Season 2 unfortunately did what I expected it to, it pandered to its audience. The first half follows suit with the amazing first season, but around episode 5 there was no cohesive narrative. Main characters became secondary characters, there were spirits of the dead visiting, and basically this excellent show became quite a surrealist Angels in America look at the HIV epidemic.

    [Realness] is what distinguishes Ryan Murphy's downtown drama in its fabulous second season. [24 Jun - 7 Jul 2019, p.11]

    It’s admirable for “Pose” to experiment with its structure, even though those narrative flourishes detract from the message. The show is most successful when it balances the over-the-top ballroom spectacle with simplicity and authenticity.

    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.
