Transparent

[OldCorpse]

Nobody has made Los Angeles look as realistic as in Transparent - not in a long time. I like the way it's shot. Plus, the acting is pretty outstanding. All in all I'm very impressed by how strong a show Amazon picked. I mean, if Netflix and Amazon are supposed to bring something new to the table compared to the old network TV and cable studios (like HBO), then I feel Netflix has proved itself with "Narcos" and Amazon with "Transparent". I mean, that's not a bad batting average if you think about how many shows are piloted by network TV and how many go on to be winners - by that metric Netflix is doing pretty well, and I'm really surprised by Amazon... to be honest, I don't know why, but I had really low expectations of Amazon, but they sure proved me wrong. And again, I think "Transparent" was shot really nicely. How do you guys feel about this?

I enjoyed it as well. Also, the way they opened up season two? With that long shot, then closed it with that elevated track across the balconies? It added to the story in an elegant way.
