Summary
Reviewers say 'Pose' is acclaimed for its groundbreaking LGBTQ+ representation, especially transgender characters, and its exploration of family, identity, and resilience. The show is lauded for strong performances, particularly by transgender actors, and its vivid depiction of 1980s New York ballroom culture. Critics appreciate its emotional depth, character development, and addressing social issues like AIDS and discrimination. However, some note inconsistencies in storytelling and acting quality across seasons.
Featured reviews
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!!

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
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!
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.

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.
