Critics' reviews

"What we get feels and even looks, thanks to some jarring editing, like a rush job (...) [It] is a departure that hurtles out of control."

James Poniewozik: The New York Times
"A weird — but occasionally wonderful — way to go (...) [It] features a lot of song and dance, some of which is drenched in self-absorbed sap and some of which is wildly and satisfyingly jubilant"

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"Messy, gimmicky and occasionally moving (...) The conceit of Maura's death would have made a poignant denouement, but the musical element completely frustrates the storytelling"

Robyn Bahr: The Hollywood Reporter
"If shows’ last impressions are how they last in memory, 'Transparent' will be remembered for its least admirable qualities — vacillation, imprecision, flippancy."

Daniel D'Addario: Variety
"The groundbreaking Amazon series’ conclusion is far from perfect, but somehow, in all its flaws, it works (…) A valiant, well-meaning effort (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"

Alan Sepinwall: Rolling Stone
"The 'Transparent' finale feels like a desperate flailing for attention that betrays what the show did best"

Ben Travers: IndieWire
"[It] is the show at its best, worst, and everything in between (...) [There are] undeniably affecting moments that demonstrate just how much the characters have grown"

Danette Chavez: AV Club
