Novo Começo

Is this groundbreaking content? No. Does it need to be? Also no.

We've come to expect that any media featuring trans identities needs to be educational, righteous, progressive, and informative of their experiences. It doesn't!

It's refreshing to have a mindless primetime sitcom featuring a trans main character- but not have the storylines solely focused on that single characteristic.

Of course the topic is navigated at intersections where it makes sense, but it is by no means focused on her gender identity.

Instead, the show is focused on themes and plot lines we've come to expect from our comfort sitcoms, with plenty of laughs to go around too.

Hoping they get a season 2. I need more Laverne Cox on my screen because that woman is a STAR.

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.

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!!!

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.

This show is such a feel good sitcom. Not the usual massive trauma many shows give us when they have trans main characters. Harry is a hilarious, stubborn, dramatic, but loving father. The supporting characters are surprising and funny. Laverne Cox. A fab main character. Witty, funny, caring but with layers that need to be pulled back. The small town/community in which the show takes place has a modern southern vibe. Nothing dusty about this show. I've enjoyed every minute and have laughed out loud more in these 8 episodes than I did the whole month of January.

I'm going to be crushed if this show doesn't get a second season.
