Mort has a secret that he really wants to tell his three adult children, who are so self-absorbed they don't see that something has changed for divorced, girlfriendless dad. Even when he invites them to dinner en masse to share his news, somehow, the conversation becomes about them. The secret unfolds, though, when he comes home and sees his married daughter getting intimate with her ex. Now, he knows her secret; she learns his; and the dysfunctional family finds one secret after another being exposed.

Heather Hogan Autostraddle The only thing I didn't like about this episode was that I couldn't immediately watch the next five back-to-back. Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Lara Zarum Village Voice The dinner table is the site of many emotionally ravaging scenes in Transparent. In its second season, food continues to hold a central place in the lives of the show's characters, and in the show itself. Feb 17, 2016 Full Review Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker Jill Soloway's stealth masterpiece Transparent, which is now in its second season, on Amazon, is a different kind of seducer, a TV series that makes revolutionary art seem both irresistible and inevitable. Dec 29, 2015 Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind Transparent is the rare show solely focused on telling the stories of very specific, layered individuals, while never losing the universality of its message. Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Oliver Whitney ScreenCrush Now more than ever, Transparent is a full-blown ensemble piece that examines the complicated, painful, confusing and messy elements of a family in search of itself. Jun 18, 2018 Full Review Alisa Solomon The Nation The second season is even better: more expansive, textured, and daring; more emotional and political. Apr 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Jens B I just love watching those characters living their lives. They are so well written and acted, it's a delight! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Jeremy P I didn't like the first season of the show, but I was hoping it would improve in the second season. Unfortunately, it didn't. Most of the characters are still miserable, immature, self-centered and abusive and make the show really hard to watch. There's not enough humor or growth or anything but misery. It's just an awful show. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Not enough words or thoughts that I can conceive of to describe the pure genius and sheer power of this season of television. Unprecedented. Stunning. Beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Puntaje Original: 7.0 Un notorio trabajo de personajes y giros en la historia que convierten a Transparent en una serie entrañable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member now on season two, what an incredible show, right when you think where it's going , surprise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Transparent è passato dall'essere una frizzante serie pedagogica, che ben si prestava all'educazione al sentimento, ad una sottospecie di soap opera, sicuramente ben confezionata, sì, ma anche con tutti i limiti del caso: protagonisti nemmeno troppo profondi, caratterizzati da un'apparente imprevidibilità che in realtà dà poi vita a dei sub plot sempre molto simili. dopo 20 episodi penso di averne le palle piene.
