Transparent An Amazon Original Series

Transparent is an Amazon Original Series that was recently renewed for its 3rd season.

Transparent follows a Jewish Family who's lives are turned upside down when they learn that their father is transgender. Jeffrey Tambor plays Mora (Born Morton Pfefferman) who is a retired college professor of political science who is finally able to be her true authentic self.  She's raised her kids, she had a successful career, shes been married but all as a man, and now she wants to be who she was meant to be.

But as she is finally living out her true self, her family is crumbling around her, and this is a story of overcoming hardships, overcoming the past, and trying to become the best version of yourself.

The whole cast is stunning, the story lines will tug at your heart strings, and in the end you might feel like your life is going pretty well compared to some of things that happen to these characters.

Sarah Pfefferman is played by Amy Landecker who is the oldest sibling.  She is married and has two children.  Things turn very complicated for her when someone from her past re-enters her life.

Jay Duplass plays Josh Pfefferman, the middle sibling.  A successful music producer who has rough relations with the woman in his life.

And my favorite of the siblings is the youngest sibling, Ali, played by Gaby Hoffmann.  She is a complete mess, and we get to see her try and go through life.

Shelly played by Judith Light, is Maura's ex-wife and the mother of Maura's children.  She is struggling to keep the family together, and to patch up old wounds.

This show is like nothing else on TV-its funny, dramatic, inspiring, and is only available on Amazon Prime.  So Check Out The Trailer And Clear Your Calendar because you are going to want to binge watch this show.  Winner of numerous awards and a show not to be missed.

I highly recommend this show. 5/5 Stars

Jane The Virgin on the CW


Jane The Virgin is currently in its second season on The CW and is the show you should be watching!

The show stars Golden Globe winner Gina Rodriguez as Jane who just so happens to be a Virgin. Which is odd because she ends up having a baby.  How might you ask? You should watch and find out!

This show is sexy, full of drama, and light comedy (mostly by Jane's Dad) who her mother has hidden from her for most of her life.  Janes dad is a telenovela star who struggles to come back down to reality because he's such a star-at least in his head.

Jane finds herself in a love triangle, between two very sexy men, Rafeal played by the hot hot hot Justin Baldoni, who is a rich playboy who ends up owning his own hotel.  One problem is he was married to a pretty horrible woman Petra played by the wonderful Azie Tesfai, and she is not going down with out a fight.

Jane is also engaged to Micheal who is a detective, and determined to bring down Rafeal.

Everything is complicated by Rafeal's family, because Rafeal's sister Dr. Luisa Alver is responsible for Jane's Pregnancy.  How might you ask?  You Should Watch and Find Out.  

Jane The Virgin Season 1 is on Netflex, and the current season is running on the CW.  This show is top notch television, and everyone of my friends who has watched it with my recommendation has loved it.  5/5 Stars.

And Spoiler Alert:

Britney Spears Makes A Great Cameo In Season 2.

Some of season 2 episodes are on HULU Click Here To Watch

If I still haven't convinced you check out the trailer for the first season.

Lucifer on FOX



Lucifer is a new show on Fox, which is a dark, sexy, and a bit odd.  But there is nothing wrong that! The main character played by Tom Ellis, is what really makes the show.  From his accent to his looks, I can't stop watching.  Great casting, sexy cast, and a intriguing premise make quite the show!

The show focuses on Lucifer Morningstar who is played by Tom Ellis, who's is the Lord Of Hell, but is bored and unhappy playing that roll.   He abandons his kingdom for the beauty of Los Angeles where gets his kicks helping the police punish criminals.

In the opening episode, a young woman whom Lucifer once helped getting into show business-which proved as harmful to her as helpful-is murdered in his presence.  Seeking to punish the person behind it, he imposes his assistance upon police officer Chloe Decker, whose resistance to his manipulative abilities intrigues him.

I am excited to see where this show goes, and hopefully it will just get better and better.  The big question at hand is if the devil himself will see the good in the world and turn from evil to good.  Lets see what happens!  To catch up-you can watch the show on FOX or CLICK HERE

And if I haven't convinced you to tune in maybe the trailer will. CHECK OUT LUCIFER On Fox.
