Tambor's dry wit and openhearted vulnerability shine through and help anchor this show that, with a lesser actor in the lead, might get lost in L.A. hipster navel-gazing.

The acting is fantastic. The themes are complicated, often without clear right or wrong sides. But when it comes down to it, what matters is there is such a great deal to say about it.

Yet perhaps what's most admirable about the third season of Transparent is that it's distinctly different than the first two: More formally daring than Season 1 and less structured than Season 2, Transparent continues to push boundaries in rewarding ways.

While Seasons 1 and 2 were good overall but struggled to maintain quality from episode to episode, Season 3 is solid from start to finish, with 10 episodes that beg to be binge-watched and then leave you wanting more.

In Season 3, the superb writing and performances make Transparent more satisfying than ever.

Screw blasé feelings about continued excellence: Season 3 of Transparent is as excellent as ever, still better than pretty much everything else on TV, and exceptional in ways that are intrinsically tied to it being a third season.

This season I found Shelly to be more dimensional and emotionally relatable than ever before, not least of all thanks to flashbacks of her as a young woman.

Transparent is never content to rest on its laurels, to bask in its many accolades. It's always interrogating and questioning itself. That might lead it down strange paths, but it always finds its way back in the end.

Based on the first three episodes, this looks like another finely crafted season. Also intense, uncompromising and demanding.

Families, by their very nature, require a lot of patience, and Transparent is no different. Not every moment spent with the Pfeffermans is perfect, but the pay-off is always worth it in the end.
