As with the past three seasons of Amazon’s
Transparent
, all 10 episodes of season four will be available for streaming September 22. This season has been edited by Hilda Rasula, Sunny Hodge and Christal Khatib.
“While this makes for some terrific binge watching, editorially speaking, this new model of episodic TV distribution changes everything,” explains
