I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Let me start this review by saying I like Bruce Jenner and I like Caitlyn. It's too easy to criticise and hate but we all have to play with the cards that life deals us, and in a way this programme invites you to look deeper into the human psyche and the struggles human souls face and how we relate to one another. That said, I feel really sorry for Caitlyn. Bruce was unhappy and I'm sorry to say that Caitlyn looks unhappy. Compared to the trans women on the show (candace, chandi..) who appear so relaxed, Cait sticks out like the odd one out. I think Bruce was always a loner and as he says in his own words, he didn't fit in with the boys and didn't fit in with the girls. I'm sorry to say that he doesn't look like he fits in with trans women either. It's interesting in the show when he keeps referring to the trans women as "they" and compliments that "they've achieved so much", at which point his trans friend embarrassingly has to remind him again that it's "we". I believe Bruce was struggling and chose transgenderism as an escape to the boundaries in his own psyche. But since he never really dealt with why he had the inner turmoil to begin with, it seems the problems have just passed onto Cait. The irony is that as transgenderism is accepted more into the mainstream, Cait becomes less of the outcast and has to deal with relating to people as normal again which is what her real struggle was to start with. As an aside, what is the big deal with gender? So Bruce hasn't changed his genitalia, dresses as a woman, likes male activities and likes women, yet it's so important that the world calls him a woman. It seems he's gone from being a very masculine man to being a masculine "tomboy" lesbian trans woman. Surely it would have been easier to just call himself a transvestite man. Anyway I wish Caitlyn all the best. I hope she finds herself and can be truly happy.

Caitlyn, Caitlyn, Caitlyn. Really? A 10 for coming out as your real self. A 2 for still having the brain of a privileged white man. You've been living with this your whole life and you still have no clue what life is like in America as a woman? Or as an LGBTQ? The homophobia? The transgender hatred? The misogyny? The economic imbalance? The Republican fear mongering? Really? What kind of a rock have you been living under? Thanks and rotten tomatoes to E! for this wholly unsatisfying series. On the one hand it is beyond fabulous to detail the coming out of a celebrity as it moves the cultural conversation forward like nothing else. But on the other hand.... somebody please school Miss Caitlyn in depth ASAP. She's embarrassing herself and making things worse for the transgender community at the same time.

Is this seriously how low prime time has sunk? Another crap reality show? A has been washed up sports star who is irrelevant finds fame in being famous for coming out the closet? Seems he is more interested in exploring his paycheck options than his sexuality. I feel sorry for trans gender people having this as what's perceived to be their spokesperson! What a self centered attention whoring uninspiring douche bag, money and fame hungry knob head. So after watching the first episode of this I can tell that was enough for me! I am sick of hearing about Jenner this and Kardashian that! The trans gender issue is a real issue, but I can watch it dealt in a more positive way by watching it in a drama Series like Transparent then this bull crap! CAIT should have only done an hour long sit down or at the most a two hour documentary rather than sit and whine that her family isn't even promoting her show! Really? Be thankful your family even accepts you - you ungrateful person.

While not technically accurate, this is the first episode of any "Kardashian" reality programming I have ever seen and at that, there is only one episode of I Am Cait on which to base my review. For the purposes of this review it may be of value to note that I am a heterosexual female but a huge believer in LGBT rights. The reality for most members of the LGBT are likely to be different, sometimes drastically, than the overwhelmingly exciting reception Caitlyn has experienced. The show briefly mentions that not everyone is as accepted or with the financial capabilities of Caitlyn. I applaud this acknowledgment and believe they're going to address the disparate experiences in later episodes. The reality is that Caitlyn is a celebrity and perhaps this serious-but-campy show is a comfortable, fun way to get people discussing LGBT issues and rights. So for the ends, I'm okay with the means of mixing in a little more fashion and hijinx than is typical for your average American. I am concerned, however, that the show will stray from a documentary approach and digress into utter reality trash (TMZ has reported a custom Lamborghini was being delivered as a prop). So yes, Caitlyn's life is atypical even by LGBT standards and yes, the show is as flirty as it is serious but I think it makes for an entertaining, yet educational, program style. But, that's based off only one episode and I fear I Am Cait won't be able to juggle that for long. If they lose sight and lose balance, it puts the LGBT community at risk of being made a mockery of. Tread lightly in those high heels Caitlyn. We're rooting for you, but counting on you as well.
