Greetings, Earthlings! What excitement has been going on that I've missed amidst my fandomaid induced pile o' LJ notifications? TELL ME ALL THE THINGS! JUST AS I SHALL TELL YOU...! Yay
( Read more... )
Something TERRIBAD happened!!! I was ~just starting to get properly into the show (it's only taken me the best part of three seasons!) when my housemate and I discovered a TRAVESTY OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!
Netflix Australia only has the first three seasons so far. OMG WHAT NOW?!
I've watched Transparent! It's soooo good, I was surprised it was done well. I was so impressed with how the dad from Arrested Development could play this character.
Isn't it??! All the characters are just so... I don't know... real? Or something? Like, it's almost as though you're watching a documentary. Very, very well done.
I have seen transparent. I think I am missing the last episode, dunny why, i should get back to that sometime. I love it.
It has those beautiful 80s flashbacks, but even the things that aren't flashbacks have a period feel? I have no idea how to describe it, but it just looks so consistent. And it feels a little like a documentary. The acting is cool (except i hate that one change of actress after the pilot, ugh).
A trans lj friend confirmed that it is very realistic.
I did a rec post on it back when i watched it in December (http://tinnny.livejournal.com/254566.html), not that I say anything there that I haven't said in the two sentences above. ;)
I seriously JUST wrote this in reply to a comment above!! Like, ten minutes ago!!

In other words, YES! I agree with everything you've said! Especially about the consistent cinematography.
