Jantar com Drags

This could've been so good it has such a great cast of drag performers. The idea was there, but the execution is an abomination. I don't understand why they wanted to do something completely fake. They could've actually just done the concept as a dinner, as normal, and just relied on the mess that would've come naturally. It's boring because it's so fake. It doesn't grab your attention because it's so fake. Drag performers are artists, this isn't art. The whole ditzy stupid I don't know what I'm doing just got taken too far. Such a shame on a wasted opportunity. It's highly unlikely this will make it to season 2.

Whenever I finish a series thinking 'hm, funny enough', it was probably not quite funny enough. The Pit Stop and some podcasts make me cackle inanely. This made me chuckle respectfully.

Wish it were less scripted and the cast was allowed more natural interactions with one another, because that's where a lot of the magic lives and dies. Even when the script is on point, which it often is, mind you, the editing is not on par with what Drag Race has us accustomed to, and so it cripples many of the jokes that might have been funny on paper.

That said, once I got over how the humor would mostly be on the dry side, I made my peace and appreciated it for what it is. It's witty and riddled with tongue-in-cheek moments that will have you... not in stitches, perhaps, but smiling and shaking your head fondly. If you consider watching your favorite drag queens get moderately silly to be worth your time, give it a go. I comfortably give it a 7 while wishing I could have given it more.

Listen. Some of the moments made me cringe, and I mean, A LOT. The editing feels choppy, with scenes being 10 seconds of a scripted punchline before it goes into another scene with a punchline. The hosts are alright (Neil Patrick Harris was the funniest)

The cooking element is fun but barely showcased. It sadly didn't live up to that potential that I craved from a cooking format. However, the queens are really the main dish of the omelette. The crème de la crème if you will. It was enjoyable to watch my favorite queens in new content.

It was a fun, colorful thing to put in the background as I worked. I did find it entertaining, and I wish there was more shows with drag performers.

There seems to be multiple 1 star bot reviews that seem copy pasted in these reviews.

Seems very overproduced and something about the show doesn't hit the spot.

The concept of the show is amazing. I've always wanted a 'Come Dine With Me' drag show but I think it should be like this you sit everyone down and the cameras follow the guests more than the cooking side of it.

A couple of things that don't hit the spot below though as if they cleaned up a few things, it could be an amazing show;

1 The David guy doesn't sit well as just seems to be there for literally no reason and brings nothing to the show.

2 Neil Patrick Harris feels like he was placed in the show for some reason. Not sure what that reason was.

3 The Murray host's voice grates on the ears.

4 Camera needs to focus on the guests and not on the "cooking".

5 The whole back of house stuff is awkward and crap too. Like, c'mon.

I had no idea that a show was coming to the little screen that wasn't connected to RPDR or WOW.. I just happened to stumble across a preview on a search and couldn't wait to sit down and start watching. Jinx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are up against Jackie Beat and Sherry Vine in the first episode. MC'd by Murray Hill, with Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka and Haneefah Wood as hosts-judges. I particularly liked the mix of faces I know and the queens that I don't.

Let me start with.. I don't sit down to be some arm-chair critic and if I'm not in the mood for a particular show/movie, I wait before I post anything if I feel compelled too.

For me this show has a little hint of the days when LGBTQ media was underground but it did have enough polish to be contemporary. I also enjoyed that the production doesn't take things too seriously, just campy fun. There are plenty of funny moments between everyone, in particular when Bianca Del Rio lets that tongue loose. What I enjoyed is seeing that the cast/crew were having a good time doin' what they do.

Episode 2 was a lil wonkie in the dining room skit but over-all I can't wait for a season 2.. Just sit back and have a good watch..
