YMMV / Tales From The Crypt S 6 E 8 The Assassin

• Fair for Its Day: For a (darkly) comedic television episode from 1994 Janet is a surprisingly progressive portrayal of a trans woman, certainly compared with how a similar character reveal is handled in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective from the same year. Janet is portrayed as perfectly happy as a woman, married to a loving husband and seemingly content to live her life as is until the CIA goons come to get her - and then turns out to be every bit as much a badass as she was in a male identity. She is also even if an Anti-Hero with a shady past definitely the character the audience is meant to cheer on rather than laugh at or be disgusted by. It's still somewhat traced with a bad trope seeing as how she seems to have transitioned to get away with some previous crimes (her career as a CIA assassin back as Ronald), but still, gotta give props for trying.
• Magnificent Bastard: Janet is a somewhat ditzy housewife held hostage in her home by three murderous government agents who believe her husband is Ronald Wald, a CIA assassin gone rogue who disappeared before the agency could "retire" him. They attempt to kill Janet, who accidentally kills two of them, before gleefully revealing to the third agent (a woman, and Ronald's former lover), that Janet herself is the assassin after a sex change. She easily murders her ex-lover, resumes her quiet suburban life... and disposes of the corpses by serving them up at a dinner party with no one the wiser.
