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.

This show reminds me a lot of season 2 of Drag Race US.

Some queens are unpolished but most are real and charismatic. The judges I would say are perfect and you can tell that they fully understand the assignment.

Can't wait for watch the rest of the season! :D.

Yes, the editing is rough, especially in the first few episodes; and the judges are stiff and unnaturally formal, in the same first few episodes; and the queens cast is quite uneven too.

But then the whole show slowly finds its own pace, or better starts moving towards it.

Priscilla, both in and out of drag, proves themselves to be a motherly/fatherly figure to the queens.

It takes a while, but the show eventually shows its identity, and it's good.

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.

Wow I think this might be the first time ever I'm Unable to finish watching a drag race season. This is even worse than the Thailand franchise. Holland and Espana have been fantastic. The biggest issue with Italia is the editing. There is so much we don't need to see. It's a huge miss this one sadly.
