Sweet, but not overly so. All the ingredients are here and they've made a good product. I was touched and entertained throughout. I'm not sure what else to say to convince you that watching this brave little show is time well spent. "Find out who you are and do it on purpose." The great Dolly Parton didn't have this show in mind when she said it, but it surely applies. This show succeeds beautifully at what it aims to be. Fun.

Overall, a feel-good show. Good production and acting, some drama coming in unexpectedly but all to build up the ultimately redemptive arc.

7 stars when watching it sober, 8 stars when drunk.

The trailer coaxed me into viewing this feel-good gem. Seweryn was really excellent - would love to see more of him. Feel it was really a 90 minute feature stretched into a series, unnecessarily slow moving at times. But heart is in the right place - very likeable.

Enjoyed it. Loretta is not 100% convincing as a major drag star in a RuPaul drag race world but nevertheless worth watching. Very interesting juxtaposition between the Paris drag scene and a coal mining town in Poland. The dog didn't get enough airtime.

I wish I could say this story had been told before but it is only the beginning of stories that need to be told. This is a series made in Poland (a very conservative area) That only begins to tell the story of LGBTQ+ people.

While similar stories have been told in the US or England or Western EU, more stories like this need to be told. And we need to get beyond the drag queen level of telling. That is why I gave it 9 out of ten, because more stories need to be told that go deeper and further.

But it got a 9 of 10 because it 1) was from a conservative country and 2) touched on the impact of a grand-father on a child and grandchild and 3) showed how many of us in our early 20s still don't know how to make the best decision for us because our societies keep imposing mores on our thinking and 4) struggles with how those cultural mores help and hurt each individual working our how to live the best life for each person involved.
