They named “POSE” the greatest and “Monster” the worst.
“ Even Murphy’s best work before “Pose” doesn’t even come close to it. Co-created with Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals, this three-season series explores New York City ball culture through the lens of a majestic range of queer, trans, and nonwhite characters. With showstopping performances from Billy Porter, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Indya Moore, Angelica Ross, Dominique Jackson, and more, the series earned a historical Emmy win for Porter and nomination for Rodriguez. “Pose” is a letter of love (and sometimes loss) among found families in ostracized communities, as well as a show that delights showmanship and spectacle. You can feel the creators’ love not only for every character and the world they inhabit, but for the art of creation and performance, and a gratitude for how art saves and heals its practitioners. Good luck getting through a season — nay, an episode — without shedding a tear or applauding a performance.”
