    Not bad a little cliche

    I really liked the idea of this show and the fact the story is about a trans trying to fit in, the idea is fresh and the content relevant in todays world, however I found most of the characters and script both cliche and cheesy Desiree is the only believable character to me the others feel like they've jumped out of a Tyler Perry comedy I thought this show would be deeper with wit and comedy sprinkled in. I feel it could be a lot better but it's an ok show if you go into it knowing you'll get an easy watching slightly predictable sit com. It's enjoyable but could be so much more. That's just my opinion though others may think it's perfect.

    A real deep comedy

    I just loved it all. Excellent characters, genuine laughter all along the eight episodes, and impecable actors. The small sourhern Alabama tone, far beyond the typical and boring stereotype, is just amazing.

    It reflects very well the everyday life inthe South, the struggles in balance with the energy and determination of people to make it right. The plot is very well curated, it builds tension with such mastery. The way it makes you relate to the different characters and their life story is deeply valuable. The production in general demonstrates care on making the story and the scenes a one perfectly blended recipe.

    Love It!

    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! 💚

    Heartwarming Sitcom!

    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!!!

    Powerfully Life Affirming

    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.
