Clean Slate, premiering on Prime Video, stars Laverne Cox as Desiree, a trans woman returning to Alabama to reconnect with her estranged father, Harry. Contrary to expectations of intolerance, Harry welcomes Desiree, reflecting a nuanced perspective on familial love and acceptance. The series centers on their emotional journey of rebuilding their relationship, confronting challenges of identity and acceptance without letting bigotry overshadow their bond. Amidst a politically charged environment, the show delivers a poignant narrative highlighting resilience and love, making it a relevant addition to contemporary discussions on trans issues.
Harry is portrayed as a kind-hearted church-goer who is not exactly progressive but also isn't hateful. This acceptance sets the show's tone.
Clean Slate is an extremely poignant show, especially amid the anti-trans fervour coming from the Trump administration.
Desiree figuring out how to reestablish herself after moving back to Alabama is central to the series, alongside familial love.
Cox said, 'I don't want to be in too much fear, but I'm scared. As a public figure, with all my privilege, I'm scared.'
