Last January, I wrote about the pilot for Transparent, a half-hour drama that centers around a transgender parent who is just beginning to transition. Amazon Studios had promised to use viewer feedback to determine whether to produce the full series — and I’m happy to say the results were favorable. Watch the trailer below.
The series, created and directed by Jill Soloway (United States of Tara, Six Feet Under), will be available to watch in its entirety (a la Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black) on September 26. Everything I said about the pilot still holds true for me after watching the trailer. It looks to be another positive indication of “The Transgender Tipping Point,” thought-provoking exploration of the meaning of family relationships, and simply excellent television.
