That a show as subtle and delicate as Transparent often was should have descended into trying this hard is a shame... it left me thinking that [Jill] Soloway never quite knew what Transparent was saying, and thus couldn't figure out how to stop saying it.

Transparent's musical moments always arrived when the characters felt at their happiest, their most ecstatically free. In a way, it's as if the series always had a song in its heart.

It's all over the map narratively and tonally... But what would a farewell to Transparent be if it wasn't equal parts clever and exasperating, delightful and baffling?

You have to be very committed to these characters to countenance this face-clawingly awful idea. No, and no.

The show struggles to find a way to meaningfully wrap up the Pfefferman siblings' stories, whether sung or spoken, but the actors put considerable effort into bringing "Musicale Finale" to its fullest vision.

Divisive, bold, self-indulgent, deeply flawed and occasionally inspired, Transparent could perhaps have ended no other way.

When Transparent's musical finale hits the right notes, it soars.
September 27, 2019
Perhaps most subversive of all for this relentlessly boundary-pushing show, what we get is what we might least expect to emerge from so much trauma and loss. A happy ending.
September 26, 2019
Are you scandalized? That is, Transparent says, just fine. From the shards of norms that the show leaves behind, may a greater nation be built.
September 26, 2019
So enthusiastically, earnestly nuts it achieves a kind of transcendence.
