I can't wait to give this a watch! I've been hearing about this for awhile now!

Why is it such a big deal? Laverne Cox is an actress after all.

The show isn't out yet so is she gonna' be a trans gender character or just a tall woman of color? Or is the producer gonna' make a big deal of her being a trans woman? If not then most people that watch the show won't know.

I actually saw the premiere, and to be honest idk if I liked the show, but it was good! What I didn't like is that all actors were saying lines so fast like they had a short time? Plus the background music like it was playing all time! Like a cheesy comedy show idk. However to answer your question Laverne Cox's character is a defense lawyer who is a trans woman. So yes she's actually a trans woman playing a trans woman who is a lawyer instead of always the sex worker trope! I'm honesty I'd only watch this show for Cox's character because I enjoy Laverne's acting! I might give a few more episodes a try, but if I still can't stay hooked I'll give up on it.

I liked the show, though they maybe tried to fit too much into the first show, introducing so many characters and going back and forth between two cases.
