Transparent's Second Season Is Even More Magical Than Its First
In the second season of Transparent, Amazon’s Emmy-winning series about the ever-changing relationships of a newly out transgender woman and her family, no one knows what they want. Maura (Jeffrey Tambor), is confronted by a host of surgical and hormonal options for her transition, doesn’t know what she wants to do with her body. Sarah (Amy Landecker) is aimless (and increasingly horny) after calling off her marriage to Tammy (Melora Hardin). Josh (Jay Duplass) and Raquel (Kathryn Hahn) know what they want for themselves, but can’t figure out how to align as a couple. And Ali (Gaby Hoffman) doesn’t know how she wants to express her newly discovered queer identity. There’s even a subplot told via flashbacks of 1933 Berlin, about the struggles of a trans woman named Gittel (Hari Nef) and her younger sister during the rise of the Third Reich.
