Jeffrey Tambor gives the performance of the year as Maura Pfefferman, nee Mort, a septuagenarian changing her identity from male to female and the "trans parent" of the title. (It took me a while to get the pun too.) But this richly observed family story from Jill Soloway is about much more than one transition; Maura's announcement ricochets across the lives of her adult children, each facing their own identity crisis. Gorgeous, melancholy and funny, Transparent reveals layer upon rich layer like a noodle kugel at a fractious family dinner.
