The subject matter is pretty enlightening, to me. Not sure how I missed the goings-on with certain segments portrayed in Pose since I vividly remember the 80s. But I applaud this series for educating its watchers. The music here is near and dear to my heart. I wish I could feel more for the characters but the majority of the acting is just not very good.

I was looking forward to this as it seemed like fun. What a huge disappointment! They cannot act. It's just awful. Giving up after one episode.

Thank you to the writers , producers ,cast and everyone who worked to create this film. I can not express my graditude enough. When I heard about the show I tune in to watch opening night, and after watching , I often tell friends to watch and post about the show on Face Book. Its been a very long time since ive watch a show that causes me to laugh and cry at the same time. The stories speak about the truth of the LGBT culture and community. The Cast members are Oscars worthy to tell a story in the way that they do.At age 35 years old, being black and gay, finally someone tells my story, showcasing my struggles and fears. I wish this show much success.

So far I've only seen the pilot ... but I'm hooked! It's definitely a "dancer" show ... i.e. you will like it if you're a dancer and it helps if you grew-up in the 80s. But Pose is more than that, too. Yes its about gay/trans characters but the story line speaks to all people who are "different" and can never fit in with main stream.And of course LOVE the dancer character b/c many dancers -gay or not- literally starve and sacrifice everything for dance. So its validating to see a character like that in a show. I like all the characters and can't wait to see where the show takes them. Some of their stories are tragic ... yet the show has excitement and glamor and never falls into pathos. You can definitely see how RuPaul drag races is an outgrowth of this ball culture. Pose has a raw glamour that I love. Great show!
