10, 10, 10, 10's across the board.

I can only think of a handful of TV shows that have BLOWN ME AWAY like this every damn week. Definitely the best TV show to premiere this year so far, and i'm so glad it was already renewed for a Season 2! I still feel like people are sleeping on Pose. Wake the hell up everybody! Great themes, great dialogues and show-stopping acting. Give Dominique Jackson and MJ Rodriguez all the Emmys they deserve.

Not as immaculately crafted as Ryan Murphy's true-story series like ACS or Feud, and sometimes rough around the edges (contrived melodramatic plot turns, a few instances of performances, etc.) but it may be his most full-hearted series yet, which counts for a lot. The LGBTQ+ (especially trans) representation in front of and behind the camera is really felt, as it invests a lot of standard story beats with authenticity and insight, making them feel new in the moments again. What can run the risk of going into misery if told through outsider eyes becomes more about living in a harsh world with joy and love instead.

Now that Pose is finally among the announced nominees of the annual GLAAD awards, let me call that it will easily win.

This series is a real wonder. A beautiful drama and a super human and super real story. A very well done work, exquisite costumes and photography. Excellent cast, give Dominique, MJ, Billy, Indya and the entire cast a few emmys. Super recommended, a series that cannot be missed.
