Finished the season tonight and it's the best new show I've seen since Utopia (UK, not that Fox show). It's a fantastic cast, with Jeffrey Tambor and Gaby Hoffmann knocking it out of the park (the lack of response to the show probably means they sadly won't get any nominations come award season, but hopefully it'll catch on in the coming weeks). I really like how Maura and her kids all seem to be going through their own types of transitions, or at the very least struggling to find a better sense of self. It really hammers home how universal the subject matter is. And I like how everyone ends up by the end of the season. Sarah ends up with the person she loves, only to fall into the same feeling of boredom as her marriage to Len. Josh's desire to start a family comes true in a way he'd never expect. Ali continues floating through life choosing one thing after another in the hopes that one will stick, but now one of the only stable things in her life has suddenly been taken away from her.

Yeah, Jill Soloway has consulted with trans women and men for the show. She's actually hoping to have a trans female writer on the show for next season. Some of her intentions are described here, along with some disagreements with Jenji Kohan. http://www.vulture.com/2014/10/transparent-launches-trans-affirmative-action.html I hope more people have gotten into this show. Amazon picked it up for a second season, which isn't a surprise. It's by far their most successful show.
