    A lot of people like to criticize Dominique Jackson's acting on the show for not showing enough range, but they fail to realize that her character is based off of how house mothers were back then. Regal, dignified and hardly bats an eye but still able to help others in time of need. She's a lovely actress and deserves every bit of praise in life

      Exactly. I know Paris is Burning has its fair share of controversies but despite that, it's still firmly on the Essential Viewing list. Dorian Corey could break you and your shortcomings down to the atomic level so elegantly and smoothly that you wouldn't even realize that she just read the absolute dogsh*t outta you until the next day if you were lucky. The next week if you were stupid. 😆🏳️‍🌈🎉

      People who critize her acting clearly haven't ever had to learn that type of dialogue in such a short time span. She speaks every word as if it was coming out of her brain right that second, she's a great actress.

      What you just described is the definition of reading. Its an insult, but with class; something personal, and undeniable, and more often than not, eloquently spoken. Calling out someones flaws in the cattiest way possible.

      @@leahflower9924 She was a mother. She didn’t have to be one, but she picked up struggling queer folk off the streets and helped them survive anyway. And though her children parted from her steadily for her rudeness, deep down they still loved her as a mother because of what she’s done for them. They also knew she had insecurities, mainly revolving around passing and being with “real men” in order to validate herself. She steadily let go of those insecurities and focused on empowering herself.
      There was no real excuse for what was said and done, but her children understood and forgave.

    "Pose" did so much to educate me about this world, and about trans* rights and history. (I was especially impacted by that one episode where Blanca tries to sit in a gay bar and then they violently kick her out because she didn't look like a cisgender male. It was very shameful, though eye-opening.) Before this show I was so ignorant. But because it filled a blind spot I had, this show quickly became one of my faves. I especially loved Elektra and her reads. Yes, she seemed a bit wooden when it came to her acting. But her reads--this is where she shined brightest! :D

      The colorism really undermines the brilliance of the show IMO. The ways Elektra & Blanca were pitted against one another could be very realistic but also very flat when it could've been written more subtly & complex. I feel so many happy endings (however temporary) went to lighter skinned characters. Yes, tragedy was switched up but less stinginess with joy is all I'd ask.

      @Akan Ledger, but not surprising. For years, I always felt that awards shows were ignoring some of the best possible recipients. I never truly realized how much "whitewashing" goes on in Hollywood until the hashtag #whitewashing came on the scene.
      Although I have not watched any awards shows for more than a decade, I knew instinctively that Hollywood would not learn its lesson, and I still see so many new movies and TV shows with almost exclusively white casts or white leads.
      The fact that there are people who go well out of their way to ignore the fact that not everyone is white, AND, male, AND, heterosexual, AND Christian, as in, ALL FOUR boxes, amazes me.

I hope they make more like this series in the future and I want a season 4 or a spin off but Im satisfied with the ending.

    I'm behind in watching Pose (halfway through season 3; 11/2022) but, found the saddest part of Elektra's story was when her mother kicked her out of the house. I felt for her...however, it helped me understand her rise to the top. Brava Elektra!

      thats the entire point though. that was her insecurity - people leaving her, or doing better than her. its a serious insecurity which was played out in a very well portrayed way. Towards the end, you could see she was softer on her girls, and she started to show more love, openly. She started to not care as much if someone was doing better than her, and focused on making other people feel better. thats her character arc. She always loved her girls and the functions, but her demon was that she needed to win to feel validated as a success, she needed "real men" to feel validated as a woman, and she needed her girls to validate she is loved.
      thats how i read it anyway

      Back in the day I knew many Trans Women who who read the eyes out of your head and who were even more viscious than Dominique. These were girls who carried hatchets, hammers, and guns in their purses. The times were VERY different and the Dolls protected themselves any way they could. Her reads are accurate for the time!
