A couple of Saturdays ago, Amazon was kind enough to offer up the entire first season of Transparent for free.

However, with freezing rain outside and a surprisingly empty DVR inside, I figured what …
With the success of Alpha House and Transparent, Amazon is making a name for itself in the original content game, one show at a time, which is why as a TV fan their pilot season is something worth getting excited about.
