"Pose" is a drama spotlighting the legends, icons and ferocious house mothers of New York's underground ball culture, a movement that gained notice in the 1980s. After receiving life-altering news and losing her first real home, Blanca starts her own "house," a self-selected family that provides support to LGBTQ youth rejected by their birth families. Making television history, "Pose" features the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles, as well as the largest recurring cast of LGBTQ actors ever for a scripted series.

Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) It's a moreish cocktail of grit and glamour, populated by overdressed underdogs. Rated: 4/5 Dec 9, 2019 Full Review Esther Zuckerman Thrillist Though not without its missteps, the eight episodes married irrefutable, often tragic truths with high fantasy in a manner that was utterly thrilling to watch. Dec 9, 2019 Full Review Emily St. James Vox [Pose] understands the power of looking at somebody and knowing they love you as you are, that they can be your parent or sibling or child as meaningfully as any biological relative. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Cristina Escobar LatinaMedia.Co None of us are just or even primarily our gender. Pose demonstrates this complexity so well. Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Katherine McLaughlin VODzilla.co Pays glorious tribute to the glamourous people integral to the ballroom scene with an irresistibly moreish narrative that keeps you invested in the characters backstories. Rated: 10/10 Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Skylar Ezell Black Nerd Problems Pose dares to show us what that decimation looked like in real time, how the American government failed in its response, and the lives of those who lived and died as a result.

Ricardo R ok workkk now it changes why? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Michael L A thoughtful and well considered representation of lives lived on the fringes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review tom m This was interesting. I found myself getting engaged with the characters and their stories. It certainly opened my eyes to a very different life / situation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review carlos m Simply sensational and important this series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 10s across the board Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I LOVE this show. I 100% recommed. Everyone should watch this. It's beautiful, it's raw, real, even funny at times, and most of all it's inspiring. It reminds you that family doesn't have to be blood related. It gives you a unique look into the LGBTQIA+ community and the struggles that were faced in the 80's and early 90's in the name of just being who you are. This is a must-watch. Especially now, since it's Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 Don't forget that Pride began as a riot ✊🏼 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
