What It Feels Like for A Girl

This series is fantastic. Every minute of it is enjoyable. And it gets even better.

It's sexy, though I would say it's a bit controversial considering the lead is only 15. The fact that it even got made is pretty amazing considering.

For me, it's a full 10 out of 10. I can't imagine how it could get any better. But as I'm writing this during episode 3, I may just be in for some surprises. Though I don't think there's a chance that I will be disappointed.

The music is wonderful, the cinematography fantastic. It's a feast for your eyes and for your ears. I hope there will be a second season, but as it clearly has a very specific audience, I don't know if it could have the kind of broad appeal that would be required.

First four episodes felt so timely, tight, subversive and is some of the best looking TV in recent memory.

I loved how uncomfortable the first few episodes make you feel, it's a tough watch. The relationships, specifically between Byron and their parents, were unconventional and complex and really interesting. It's just a shame that the latter half of the series doesn't really keep up with what was promised.

It seems to lose focus and derails for me. Some characters set up to be of importance are completely dropped and there are a few decisions later on that have little logic to them at all.

By the end I sort of felt nothing for these characters, which is such a shame considering how much I was rooting for them to begin with.

I felt like it could have been such a tight 4-6 episode series focussing on the earlier storyline.

Still enjoyable and totally worth watching, just could have been so much tighter.

I thought this was an absolutely fascinating adaptation of Paris growing up and hugely inspiring even at my age. I know there were rough times but if I had seen this 30 years ago I would have started transitioning 30 years ago. Loved it and hope there will be a sequel at least up until the magical day where she's gets the body she was meant to be in.

This is a working class story and it doesn't matter whether you like boys or girls; it's about the life of a kid, and how that kid tries to negotiate an alien world, sometimes making friends with the wrong people, and sometimes ignoring the love of the right people - like we all do. If this doesn't win all the awards, if all the cast don't win every accolade going, and if every man, woman, gay or straight, transgender, transsexual and everybody else with a heartbeat don't lift Ellis Howard up high on their shoulders, to be carried all the way to stardom and glory or whatever Ellis desires, this is a cruel world indeed.

None of the actors in this - and I had to keep reminding myself that's just what they were: actors - none of them broke that fragile glass between us and the drama, ever; they really were, for those short few hours at least, the characters they played. And when Byron said those last words to his mum I cried.

I watched all episodes in one sitting. It recreated the era particularly well. An outstanding cast with impeccable direction. Ellis (Byron) was in just about every scene and was perfect casting. I laughed, cried, laughed some more until I couldn't breathe. Emotional and outstanding drama. The music was also a great reminder of the nightlife scene 25 years ago, it had a way of transporting you back all those years ago without feeling that time had moved too much. A couple of familiar faces popped up that added to the enjoyment as they were unfamiliar roles for those actors. Well done to all for the journey.
