What Are the Critics Saying About Transparent Season 5 ?
Transparent Season 5 has an official critics rating of 45% and an average audience score of 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. The series, however, has a user score of 6.6/10 on IMDB. Though the series has received mixed reviews, the cast’s acting chops have been given a thumbs up by most viewers.
James Poniewozik from New York Times writes, “Musicale Finale is a departure that hurtles out of control. But I can’t say it isn’t true to the spirit of Transparent, which has always believed you have to embrace your mess to be who you really are.”
Vox’s Emily St. James says, “The musical finale is, God bless it, so weird that you’ll always be more distracted by how it bursts into song at inopportune moments than distracted by its incredibly earnest attempts to keep its formerly most recognizable star offscreen.”
