I just finished watching the entire 10 episodes in season 1 and I must say I am truly impressed with this work. Jeffrey Tambor is amazing and the rest of the cast is equally great. I like the flashback sequences, the choice of actors and their younger counterparts, the stories and subplots, and the fact that these people are not all pretty and polished.
What really struck home with me is the friends I know who have all seen and experienced the types of struggles that Moira experienced in her transition, including the restroom situation, the explanation of the difference between crossdressers and transsexuals, the loss of family and friends over transition, etc. Everything is handled poignantly without sensationalism. I love the trans women they found to star in this series (Trace Lysette is a beauty!) and I look forward to watching the next season's shows!
