If you find this series "boring" or "bland", then you clearly cannot judge a TV series correctly. Transparent: Season 1 introduces us to an elderly man transitioning and how it affects those around him. It's a heartfelt and emotional journey for all characters. Love is put to the test and it has GREAT character development. It's a smart and beautiful show that truly deserves ever praise and award it got. There's so much to appreciate along this show. It's not so much as plot heavy, it's more focused on the characters and how, just like their father, is trying to find their identity. If you like smart and daring shows, then you should definitely check this out. Maybe along the way, you'll discover more about yourself as well.
