Drag Race España

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.

Every series / season of drag race is wonderful in their own way, but I seriously can't get over how incredible this season was. The host was phenomenal, the judging panel was perfect (seriously the best reoccurring judges even over drag race US imo), the cast was just incredible, and every challenge/runway really, really delivered in all elements. Drag race españa really knocked it out of the park and I can not wait for season 2.

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!

So far I have found this season really enjoyable. Supremme is an amazing hostess! You can tell she really cares about the queens and is also really excited and enthusiastic when interacting with the guest judges. The judging panel is perfect! They are all experienced judges who are experts in the areas they are critiquing. Everything they say is supportive to the queens and they're never nasty in what they say unlike other international drag race judges. The queens are amazing and it's a really strong line up. I cannot wait to see how the whole season plays out but if it's like the first 4 episodes then I think it'll be the best season yet!

Sagittaria for the crown!

Rest of the seasons

JUST CANNOT COMPARE.

And that's the truth whether you like it or not. As an American, even the show's references towards Spanish culture were easy to understand and definitely give this season a boost of quality since the country is so rich in it. This season appears to be so incredibly refreshing due to how spontaneous and non-filtered it is, I believe, thanks to the amazing cast. I feel like removing the overly 'family-friendly' vibe the last seasons of Drag Race have had is a big plus for Spain's format of the show. Somehow it takes much less effort to connect with each and every one of the queens as they're all likable, and you can sense there's no forced drama pushed by producers going on throughout the season. Honestly cannot wait to see who wins and I look forward to watching next seasons.

All hail Drag Race Espana!
