The ballroom scenes are still outrageously enjoyable, but Pose finds its surest footing as a classic tearjerker, unabashedly sentimental in its happiest moments. ... Pose really is a dream come true. [24 May - 6 Jun 2021, p.9]
Never has a TV show told diverse, queer and trans stories like this, with honesty, nuance, empathy and – most importantly – hope.
A season that feels like one long glamorous goodbye, though Pose would never stint on “moments”.
Another Emmy nomination shouldn’t be out of the question for Porter, but Rodriguez deserves one, too. Around the characters of Blanca and Pray, “Pose” predictably bounces between fantastical indulgence and inconsistently weighted depictions of drug use, Mafia involvement, and death. ... [Whitney Houston] sings “The Lord asks me what I did with my life/I will say I spent it with you,” and that sense of gratefulness suffuses and strengthens this final season of “Pose.”
“Pose” seems to be sprinting through story — the seven-episode season begins in 1994 and ends in 1998 — to fit everything in in its final season. It’s a little all over the place but entertaining enough in the soapy way “Pose” always is.
Those who found the melodrama a bit over the top in earlier seasons will find no respite in the finale. “Pose” is what it is: A flashy, high-budget, first-of-its-kind, Ryan Murphy-produced soap opera about trans women of color.
There's a lot of love, but a lot less compelling storytelling. At least showrunner Steven Canals has finally pared down the series to its most interesting characters: the parental figures. ... It's hard to begrudge these opulent happy endings to a marginalized group whose real-life counterparts met such tragically violent and premature deaths, but there's also something nigglingly inorganic (if not boringly bougie) about their five-star happily-ever-afters.
