Drag Race Italia

Production-wise it can be very rough around the edges but let's not forget this is just the first season.

The queens are always serving and they are very charismatic. The challenges have never failed and have always been entertaining. The critiques are mostly fair and so are the queens' placements for each episode. Even when a placement might seem controversial, the judges always explain their reasons behind their decisions and I think this is very important.

There's room for improvement, especially when talking about the editing and the format but this is a solid first season.

It didn't land as good as Drag Race Espana but it's nowhere near the mess of Down Under or Holland. Toxic fans should stop throwing extremely low ratings (1,2,3 stars) around only because their favourite didn't make it to the finale. The show is good.

Let's start with Untucked: AWESOME. It was refreshing to see the queens letting it all out without restraining themselves out of fear of fans reception.

The cast seems very strong and in the sewing challenge many looks were pretty good and put together nicely.

The workroom is brilliantly designed and the main stage is fine.

They were all hilarious and the judges panel reminds of Drag Race España in terms of how it works.

I just hope they can make the edit more fluid and they must fix the lightning during the runway because it was too distracting.

So let's start with positives. They showcase a new culture of drag and LGBTQ+ community. We get to hear some italian music. They crowned the right queen. Now for negativas. This show needs an editor! Seriously waaaaay too long they could have had a few more queens ans episodes instead of dragging these 6 out so much. Very boring at times ans went no where.

Also the quality of the runways were a little basic and so were the categories. The judges waaaaay too many cooks in the kitchen. Made it extremely disorganised and hard to follow. Overall worst of the franchise so far.

Maybe it's cultural. Maybe it's just not up to mark. But being it's first drag reality show, let it grow if it has mileage. One thing for sure, the pit crew is primo excellente. Girl, the pit crew here set the standard across boundaries.

This really reminds me of the old seasons of drag race. I find the season a bit messy yes, and the editing is a bit rough. But I do think that this show has real potential, it may seem nonsensical at times but it's the way Italian TV is made. Best to remember that it's always important for gay people to be on TV.

Can't wait to see the crowing.
