TV Reviews

HBO Max’s “Veneno” is the Television Masterpiece Trans Icon Cristina La Veneno Deserves

For me, what makes the show so unique are the moments Valeria spends with Cristina and Paca and all the other trans women around them. It’s watching this cross-generational support among trans women that’s so important for us but so rarely portrayed on screen.
