Laverne Cox’s Norman Lear-Produced ‘Clean Slate’ Has Beautiful Trans Representation but Muted Comedy: TV Review


In Prime Video's "Clean Slate," Laverne Cox ptorrays Desiree, a woman who returns home to her father after being estranged for 23 years.

A prideful man who refuses to get Wi-Fi despite urging from his store manager Mack (Jay Wilkison), Harry is in an especially good mood because he’s learned that his son is returning home for a visit after being away for 23 years. Later, as chicken wings fry on the stove and the Alabama football game plays on the television, Harry readily opens the door, expecting to greet his long-lost son. In addition to acknowledging where they both have fallen short, the pair encounter comical clashes over Harry’s hoarding and workaholic tendencies, Desiree’s vegetarianism and her proclivity to run instead of confronting issues head-on.
