The Resume

    (February 6, 2014-September 27, 2019)
    Comedy-drama series
    Originally streamed online via Amazon Prime
    Principal cast:
    Jeffrey Tambor as Maura Pfefferman (formerly Morton Pfefferman)
    Amy Landecker as Sarah Pfefferman

    Gaby Hoffmann as Alexandra 'Ali' Pfefferman
    Judith Light as Shelley Pfefferman
    Premise: The chronicles of a transgendered Los Angeles man and his struggles to reconnect with his family

Why Transparent might be annoying:

    The show's creator originally uploaded the pilot on Amazon Prime in February 2014, but she did not releases the remaining first season episodes until September that same year.
    Sarah cheated on her husband to start a relationship with a female friend.
    It often relies on very melodramatic situations.
    All of Maura and Judith's children are narcissistic and self centered.
    Alexandra is perpetually unemployed, and despite having a brilliant mind, she often has no motivation in carrying out her ideas.
    Some casual viewers describe it as a soap opera version of 'Bosom Buddies' and 'Tootsie.'

Why Transparent might not be annoying:

    It cast a few famous faces.
    Creator Jill Soloway has hired many transgendered people in the production of the series.
    It has received praise from both critics and audiences alike for its raw, yet often realistic portrayal of the struggles of the LGBT community.
    All bathrooms on the set are gender neutral or unisex.
    There are many moments on the show that range from funny to tear jerking.
    The show and Caitlyn Jenner's public transformation have helped to put a positive face on the transgender community.
