Clean Slate

The first episode's writing may have been a little bit awkward and unnatural, but by the last episode I was literally crying as Laverne Cox's character goes through a healing process.

It discusses a lot of issues facing our modern world and does so in a wonderfully comedic way. From transphobia and religion, to Jan 6th and the women who walked at Selma, they touched on so much. While I know it is meant to be a lighthearted show, my only note would be to maybe include a story or two of characters who weren't able to mend fences or weren't supported when they came out, just cause there are plenty of ppl out there with that experience, and it ended up feeling like an underrepresented reality in such a relevant subject.

I loved all the supporting characters who are played by a wonderful cast of comedians, and I must say I was very impressed by the young Norah Murphy!

Thank you Laverne Cox for your unending talent and courageous representation of the queer community!

I love this show! Warm, light-hearted, with adorable characters. The character Harry steals the show, making me laugh all the way through. It's really nice to see a show where everybody is a decent, likeable human being and they all love and support each other. I feel like we live in dark times at the moment, with Narcissists running the world and TV shows becoming focused around the worst manifestations of humanity. It's about time we had some positive human representation again, to remind us all that humans can actually be capable of love and kindness, that seems to sadly be rare in society. This restores my faith in humanity a little! Laverna Cox is absolutely STUNNING and great at comedy. I would love to see another season of this.

Multilayered, nuanced, funny, and true. It's so Alabama sez an Alabamian.

Having it set in Mobile is a big departure for a series Is it autobiographical? It doesn't matter. I appreciate that everyday pieces of life are present-a parent using the wrong pronouns, being able to go home again, the library as a safe space and being remembered by the librarian.

Laverne Cox and George Wallace are favorites in our family. George used to hang out and talk trash in B. Smith's restaurant in Union Station, DC. (Also a hangout of Dick Gregory's.). That's part of the charm of this show, it's about family, community.

I agree with another commenter, this is an important show.

Thank you! 💚

This show is so darn cute!! It's so, so needed with so much division in the US right now.

I love the premise. It's perfectly sweet and funny without too much sappiness or silliness; a seamless watch...something for everyone (except maybe those with hearts of hate).

I really like the cast, especially George Wallace, Laverne Cox, Jay Wilkison & Norah Murphy.

I appreciate a little bit of fluff & fun around such a serious topic of family neglect/abandonment. I also really like that it's about an adult child coming home to not only connect with their folks, but also to restart and reconnect with their childhood town.

Anyone who is offended by a trans person needs to re-evaluate their lives; it's embarrassing and shameful to be so touched by something that has zero effect on one's life. You need to mind your OWN business...or stay mad; it will just end you sooner!

If you're looking for a truly adorable sitcom that illicit's laughs & tears of joy~this is going to be your jam!!!

Let me preface my review by saying I am a 71 year old White Grandfather with very limited experience with Transexual people.

I have always been very supportive of this community. Imdont need to know "details" to make transexual folks feel excepted and "safe"

This program really deeply touched me. At several points I found myself weeping. I am so very grateful for this program - it is helping me to understand what it means to be transexual. And what it means to be a family member of a Transexual.

The actors are perfectly cast - especially Laverne Cox. She is a National Treasure.

I encourage viewers to set aside preconceived prejudices and watch the program with an open mind.

And, for the "Good Christians" who find the topic uncomfortable. The Bible tells us very clearly NOT to judge other people. It also says specifically to be KIND to one another and to LOVE one another.
