I haven't seen a comedy quite this good in quite a while
I haven't seen a comedy quite this good in quite a while. The writing is very truthful and obviously crafted with such love. Jeffrey Tambor gives his most complex performance to date, and that is saying something. Judith Light offers strong support as the main character's ex-wife, and Amy Landecker, Jay Duplass, and Gaby Hoffman turn in strong performances as his children. Obviously, the show focuses on a character transitioning into his life as a transgender woman, but each of the central characters is in a trans- state as well. All are going through or across something, This is not a knee-slapper - it's an intellectual comedy - but I nonetheless found myself laughing often and loudly. I will be watching again, and I look forward to Season 2.
