Clean Slate

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.

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!!!

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.

The first episode's writing may have been a little bit awkward and unnatural, but by the last episode I was literally crying as Laverne Cox's character goes through a healing process.

It discusses a lot of issues facing our modern world and does so in a wonderfully comedic way. From transphobia and religion, to Jan 6th and the women who walked at Selma, they touched on so much. While I know it is meant to be a lighthearted show, my only note would be to maybe include a story or two of characters who weren't able to mend fences or weren't supported when they came out, just cause there are plenty of ppl out there with that experience, and it ended up feeling like an underrepresented reality in such a relevant subject.

I loved all the supporting characters who are played by a wonderful cast of comedians, and I must say I was very impressed by the young Norah Murphy!

Thank you Laverne Cox for your unending talent and courageous representation of the queer community!
