The Beauty Inside (2012)
Love this, with one exception
Saw this many years ago and decided to rewatch here recently. Originally, I found this to be a beautiful whimsical love story. Who wouldn't want a connection like this? It's now kinda odd to watch with an updated lens and find no black woman in this sea of diversity. Diversity always seems to mean "with exceptions." I'm not lowering my rating. Still top notch. It's just the older I get, the more I realize my perception has been shaped by a certain view for decades and it's hard to unsee.
Transparent (2014)
A great pilot wasted
I actually voted for the pilot to this on Amazon about a year or two before the first season was produced. When it returned, they had rewritten and recasted and not for the better but to make it silly. Still, I stuck with it. It got more and more annoying and ridiculous. It's really too bad Jeffrey had to act up and get thrown off the show. Maura's story was the only one worth watching. Such a waste of talent and material. I didn't bother with the last season.
