Drag Race Italia

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.

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.

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.

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.

I watch all the Drag Race series and I really liked Drag Race Italia. I will just give a quick summary on both, IMHO: Season.1 of course they were just finding their footing and there were not as many Queens as I would like. I really did like the Judges, particularly Priscilla of course who is the Main Judge and Tommaso, who was the one presenting the challenges for the most part to the Queens and Chiara was also there on the panel. I really enjoyed the series and looked forward to the next season. The Queens were great and of course you fall in love with them, some more than others like any drag race series. I felt some of the costumes and challenges were not quite up to par quite yet, but after they got their footing it did get much better. I will not give any spoilers though as I am not sure when others watch it.

Season 2, got much better in terms of there were more Queens, the challenges got better (most of them). The Judges were now in their groove, but Chiara was featured a lot more in this season and she now was the one who was presenting the Queens with challenges. However, I must say, it was 100% better when Tommaso did it. I do like Chiara but I just felt that she is awkward in this setting. She does not really know the lingo/drag sayings. She tries to be, but she is not. She is not like Michelle Visage who for the most part, is a Drag Queen herself, and she knows the ballroom scene. Chiara is more of a fashion person and I just feel that when Tommaso and Priscilla do it the Queen's are better represented as is that community as a whole. This is just mho of course and the bottom line is, I am hooked and am looking forward now to Season 3. Drag Race Italia is another Winner!
