This is a series that opened my eyes and taught me a lot about a world that I'm ashamed to say I didn't know much about. What is really nice about the series ,except the fact that all the actors in the series are simply amazing, is that we are shown (although I'm sure it's only fragile) all the experiences and difficulties the characters go through. Although it is a matter of years past, you can see that our world has progressed, but not much in its attitude towards the different. Maybe if all people are exposed to this series, then maybe something will change, because as the series says, the world does not change on its own, the people are the ones who change it.

This is an original show with a fantastic cast! I suspect a lot of us are learning a lot about "things we didn't know we didn't know." The ballroom culture of the 80's is fascinating, as are many of the characters. This show operates smoothly at several different levels and tackles the hard stuff. At its heart is the issue of family-it's enduring position as safe harbor & moral compass, and the human tendency to create families of our own to uphold and sustain us when the traditional model has failed.

Pose is an importante TV show. Period. Even though there are very clear critics to made on the acting, which sometimes looks a bit amateur, and texts that could use a more profund, reflexive and subtle tone instead of what looks to me as ready-for-consumption drama, the show is BEAUTIFULLY made and you can see the passion of the people who worked on it. Serving face, looks ans subjects that actually matter in our society. I hope it grows, pushing the actors forward to get better and better. Meryl Streep wasn't made from dawn to dusk and I think this show is working with a lot of talents on the making. WATCH IT!!

I remember this time so clearly. The clubs, the slow - then rapid - rise of AIDS, the combination of having the freedom of clubs to go for the LGBT community combined with friends either being terrified they had AIDS - or their despair when they found out they did. Finally, fighting back: ACT UP, drug imports from foreign countries, the AIDS quilt, protest marches.

This show should be watched by every LGBT person who did not live through the AIDS epidemic before the triple cocktail was invented and people could actually survive long-term once they knew they had HIV/AIDS. The world for about 15 years was a terrifying place for the community, and POC were so disproportionately hit, it was horrifying - because the few drugs/treatments available were extremely expensive, and they had two forms of discrimination working against them. This was true even after the triple cocktail was first available.

The one good thing that came out of it was that it brought lesbians/bi women, gay men and trans people together for a common cause: that we not be considered disposable.

I just finished watching the series two nights ago. It is the most emotionally impactful show I have ever watched and possibly the most emotionally impactful piece of media I've consumed in my life to this point. When I finished the series I could hear Blanca in my head, inspiring me to be a better person.

As a transwoman, seeing a show that featured so many and focused on telling the stories of queer BIPOC people, the AIDs epidemic, and just our fight to exist... this show is so important to remind us that in the face of so much resistance and hate we must stand up for ourselves and our queer siblings and be there for each other. I don't know where I am going with this. I spent two hours bawling my eyes out watching the final two episodes on Monday and I am still processing this.

I'm in agreement with everyone who is in love with this show. Just want to give a shout out to MJ Rodriguez, who plays Blanca. She is the real standout in a very good cast.

It's very early in the season to begin an assessment as the story arc is just developing, but I'm "in" thus far. I'm hoping that Ryan Murphy doesn't create a trajectory similar to what we observed with "Glee" and am comforted that he stayed away from a "Paris Is Burning" musical (thus far) as the film itself caused controversy and uproar related to matters of appropriation. I hope that the Pose writers listen to community members on set and keep it real, though many are too young to have experienced, first hand, the events they portray. Please continue to seek out and promote talent in the form of community members who were in the ballroom scene and solicit their input! HIV ravaged the community during this time period and those seeking the comfort of others living the same experience, sharing the same space, were challenged in many ways. It's difficult to invest in relationships that may be fleeting due to a deadly illness.

For those critiquing the acting, it's unfortunate you're not celebrating the use of transgender talent within a community that exists largely in the shadows and is marginalized in our narrow-minded society. For those making societal degradation comments, there are lots of other channels. TV Land may be more your speed.

All that said, I'm loving what I see so far! Thank you for taking this on.

Short and sweet review. Love Live Laugh at Life. As we all have an unknown expiration date I must say that this show makes my dimples stay active. The time was "back in the day" the mission was not to be invisible to your own tribe or others for most, for the others it was blending like a vitamix. The music, dress, terms and struggle was just as real then as it is today. To be accepted, sometimes you have to be fearless. This takes place "back in the day" when it was thought that only gay men got hiv, all males who danced ballet were considered gay or curious. Today, folks are quick to think things have always been they way they are now- this show brilliantly shows you that it was a clear struggle to get where we are today its a constant struggle. The clothes, ohh dear, story line and the mere audacity to make it with real people- love it. I wont miss a show

It's so great that this show is bringing to light a culture that has saved lost souls for generations! Brilliantly written!

Soundtrack takes me back to the 80's, luv the selection! It's an interesting view of the 80's I didn't know existed. The characters have gone through so much pain and sadness to be who they are at this point in their lives. The acting isn't the best but the show is fun. I can't wait to see more!

Yasssssssssssss I'm super juiced LIVE. WORK. POSE!!!!!!

I love POSE. Which is why I care about it. It's one of the first trans led, trans positive shows to tell the story of lgbtq+ culture in 80s/90s New York ball scene. Yet as much as I love it, I feel half the episodes are like watching re-runs of Jem and the holograms. There's goodies and baddies for every episode, push down your throat morality lessons, and unrealistic poverty living standards. The main lesson I've learnt is that as long as your beautiful and wear amazing clothes you'll life will be fabulous. Forget hardship, just put on a lipstick, spend all your money on outfits and the gym and you'll be fine. The shows premise is amazing, the actors are great and the background stories for the main characters need telling. Yet we need to be able tell these stories in a realistic way so they can be properly understood, so that the audience can fully explore and comprehend the real drama of people's Lives. I feel Pose takes important issues and works to raise awareness but does so with so much millennial style filtering that the real meaning is lost amongst all the gloss and glitter.

The fact that POSE highlights the lives and society based around Latino and black gay queens and transgender folk in 1987, plus or minus a few years, and gets a devoted audience is something. "Paris is Burning," however, did a much better job without creating a soap opera where the writing and acting are sub par. Perhaps this is because "Paris" was a documentary and the people interviewed were real. Paris had a heart without being sappy too. Pose is excessively sentimental. However, some do good acting. The rest are as outrageous as their alter egos and as lax as the direction. This is tough subject matter. It's difficult not to go over the top. But it's not impossible in the right hands. Kudos for getting it seen. But more work should be done with casting and writing.

As a transwoman who came out in the early 1980's, I can say with absolute conviction this show nails it when it comes to authentically conveying the world of trans girls from that time. It brought me back to those early times in my life, and powerfully portrayed with full on accuracy the trials and tribulations of a trans life in the 80's. Kudos to everyone involved in bringing this show to fruition!

Great to finally see such an honest depiction of the 80's Thank you for the truth Great performances Brilliant music Please keep the conversation going LOVE

Seasons 1 and 2 were some of the greatest episodes of television I have watched.

Felt there was quite a disconnect when beginning Season 3: almost as if I had missed some episodes. While Season 3 provides some sweet moments, the pacing at felt rushed at points and others felt as if they were never going to end. There also seemed to be a reduction in performance quality from some of the leads in the final season, which made some lines more clunky than they would appear on paper.

Overall still a very impactful and important show.

Outstanding! This is a story that had to be told and dang they're telling it goood! It's moving, heartbreaking, empowering, uplifting and captivating, I had to watch the whole series in one sitting, I couldn't stop.

I watched the first season in a day and was amazed by Blanca, MJ Rodriguez really gives a stunning performance.

The show feels real and the storylines are so endearing. It is the first tv show where I feel like gay and trans people aren't being brought in for comic relief. There is a lot of character development and the episodes are well written.

If you saw Paris is Burning and liked it, you will love this glamourized (and fictionalized) version of the iconic historical story.

Totally love this show. 10-10-10-10-10

Thank you to the writers , producers ,cast and everyone who worked to create this film.

I can not express my graditude enough. When I heard about the show I tune in to watch opening night, and after watching , I often tell friends to watch and post about the show on Face Book.

Its been a very long time since ive watch a show that causes me to laugh and cry at the same time. The stories speak about the truth of the LGBT culture and community. The Cast members are Oscars worthy to tell a story in the way that they do.

At age 35 years old, being black and gay, finally someone tells my story, showcasing my struggles and fears.

I wish this show much success.

I'm not a member of the LGBT (and whatever other letters should be added) community, but this show touches my heart. I lived in NYC in the late 70s and early 80s. I worked Broadway and NYC Ballet and a soap at CBS. But I never brushed shoulders with the sub-culture Pose depicts. I wish I'd known. The culture may be foreign to me, but the simple, human dignity and pain make this show universal and timeless. Not to mention I've rarely seen an ensemble of more gifted actors. Pose is a sparkling, heart-breaking, terribly human, beautifully tragic gem. Well done and thank you for creating it.

The subject matter is pretty enlightening, to me. Not sure how I missed the goings-on with certain segments portrayed in Pose since I vividly remember the 80s. But I applaud this series for educating its watchers. The music here is near and dear to my heart. I wish I could feel more for the characters but the majority of the acting is just not very good.

Yes it seems harsh, yes it seems unreal and yes there are elements of fiction to convey a story. This is possibly as real as it gets because yes, this is how it was.

At first I couldn't understand the casting. Did some research and all I can say now is that I hold each and every actor in this production in the highest awe and regard.

Ryan Murphy. If I could, I would thank you for bringing this to the world. For every forgotten soul of that time, I applaud you for commemorating each and every one.

Ryan Murphy is one of the people who has revolutionized TV in the 21st century: "Glee", "American Horror Story", and now "Pose". While mainly about the 1980s ball culture in New York, it also looks at how hard life was for these folks: discrimination (especially against transgender people), HIV, a president ignoring the AIDS crisis, and other things. But without a doubt, it's something that you gotta see to believe.
