Spiritual and emotional epiphanies abound in these 10 episodes, about as close as TV comes to living art. [3-9 Oct 2016, p.23]

Season 3 of Transparent is as excellent as ever, still better than pretty much everything else on TV, and exceptional in ways that are intrinsically tied to it being a third season. Read full review

There’s more to talk about here than the mystery of gender and relationships. Transparent is the best show we have right now about personal identity--of any and all human kinds. Read full review

Season three, so far, feels like it’s returning closer to that core mission after a second season that felt slightly less focused. Transitioning, for Maura and those who love her, is a process. Transparent season three shows us that the work is nowhere near done. Read full review

Back and as impressively irritating as ever. Read full review

Based on the first three episodes, this looks like another finely crafted season. Also intense, uncompromising and demanding. Read full review

What the series lacks in knowing visual style it more than compensates with its witty, lacerating writing and its continuously inventive and moving cast. Read full review

Even though it is not as tightly structured as season 2, Transparent explores the notions of identity, sexuality and self-discovery even deeper. Jill Solloway & co. really push the boundaries of what TV can do. Highly recommended.

'Transparent' keeps breaking all the rules to prove that human beings don't need to have labels to be loved. This is not only the best trick it has up on its sleve, but it sure is the one that makes it marvellous.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only problem of the story was how it was organized; but let's be honest, it doesn't matter. Transparent takes it to the next level, beyond the scope of excellency. Although I think writers should give Gaby Hoffman better roles since she is such a good actor.'"'>… Expand
