Clean Slate

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.

This show is such a feel good sitcom. Not the usual massive trauma many shows give us when they have trans main characters. Harry is a hilarious, stubborn, dramatic, but loving father. The supporting characters are surprising and funny. Laverne Cox. A fab main character. Witty, funny, caring but with layers that need to be pulled back. The small town/community in which the show takes place has a modern southern vibe. Nothing dusty about this show. I've enjoyed every minute and have laughed out loud more in these 8 episodes than I did the whole month of January.

I'm going to be crushed if this show doesn't get a second season.

Let's be honest for a moment. Trans people are a huge topic of conversation in our society at this moment -- hopefully short lived so we can get back to living our lives. That this show even was produced and released is a small miracle that would make the ladies of the church choir in Mobile Alabama shout Hallelujah.

What really makes this show a standout is the cast and dialog. There are just some moments that made me laugh out loud in delight at the witty jabs. And seeing Desiree turn down an undeterred ex-con named Mack again and again, despite their obvious chemistry, is terrific.

I think this show is meant to be lighthearted, sunny and sweet as a pecan pie (of which Desiree's father, Harry, cannot get his fill of). And seeing Desiree settle back into her home town and find acceptance is something we all can connect with.

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.

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.
