I love this show! Warm, light-hearted, with adorable characters. The character Harry steals the show, making me laugh all the way through. It's really nice to see a show where everybody is a decent, likeable human being and they all love and support each other. I feel like we live in dark times at the moment, with Narcissists running the world and TV shows becoming focused around the worst manifestations of humanity. It's about time we had some positive human representation again, to remind us all that humans can actually be capable of love and kindness, that seems to sadly be rare in society. This restores my faith in humanity a little! Laverna Cox is absolutely STUNNING and great at comedy. I would love to see another season of this.

Is this groundbreaking content? No. Does it need to be? Also no.

We've come to expect that any media featuring trans identities needs to be educational, righteous, progressive, and informative of their experiences. It doesn't!

It's refreshing to have a mindless primetime sitcom featuring a trans main character- but not have the storylines solely focused on that single characteristic.

Of course the topic is navigated at intersections where it makes sense, but it is by no means focused on her gender identity.

Instead, the show is focused on themes and plot lines we've come to expect from our comfort sitcoms, with plenty of laughs to go around too.

Hoping they get a season 2. I need more Laverne Cox on my screen because that woman is a STAR.

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!!!

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'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.
