Drag Race España

Apart from som little issues the season was perfect!

There is something so simple, unpretentious, raw and powerful about Drag Race Espana. It seems to be a perfect recipe of a great cast, genuinely caring judges, great challenges (except the ridiculous acting challenge), organic editing (yes I know that's an oxymoron but it's true), and a wonderful celebration of the art of drag. I am a Drag race superfan, having watched them all, and cannot emphasize enough how good this franchise and season is in relation to others. The finalists and winner are so deserving, and yet they managed to achieve all of this without the manufactured drama, forced storylines and narratives. It gives strong Season 6 energy, with the winners of both being huge powerhouses, and the rest of the cast being the perfect blend of comedy, fashion, performers and dancers.

The title of the review says it all! I think us RPDR fans have just become a little too used to producers' meddling, so it's quite nice to see an iteration of the franchise whose most striking quality is its spontaneity and the focus is on the contestants' relationships rather than simply the drama.

This series is the best one of Drag Race franchises, and I would even dare to say same or if not even better than US. The amount of talent these queens have is astonishing, they come fully prepared and make great tv on top of that with their interesting storylines and interactions.

Also, the judging feels like it's consisted of constructive criticism only, they really seem to want the best for the contestants and to do their best. Also, Supreme is such a good mentor to them, giving a warm mother energy when they need it the most during the competition.

The production is awesome as well, editing is done in a classic but fresh way that gives the whole experience amped up touch.

Well done! 👏🏻

I have been watching RPDR since season one, when it originally aired, and watched all spinoffs and all stars. It might be the lackluster Down Under being shown in parallel that is putting ES in such a bright light, but out of all international series, España is standing out and really is showing what Spain is all about: cariño, fun, naughtiness, and warmth. After only three episodes, I am a fan, placing the first Spanish season shortly after UK's second (and if things continue, it might take the lead).

Great job so far, ¡no la caguéis!
