Was unpleasantly surprised by the first three episodes of season 2 of "Transparent," which officially returns to Amazon Prime today. They weren't bad, but the show -- whose debut season was one of the finest things to ever air on television -- is suddenly flirting with the supernatural in a way that I don't think serves it well. It could turn out that what I've seen sets up the greatest thing in the history of television. But as of now, the only thing I like about the new season is the heavy dose of Colton -- (horrible) Josh and former babysitter Rita's teenage son -- played by a young Tom Brady lookalike named Alex MacNicoll who is just begging to be sexually abused at a family reunion. Anyone else tuning in yet?
