Cenando con Drags

The first episode was fantastic, the second chaos, and they just got crazier from there. I love that they are having fun. The puns, the puns, Allllllll the puns! How can you not get that this is making fun of everything?

The hosts, the queens, MURRAY FREAKIN' HILL "Showbiz!' I swear it's also a perfect satire of 'reality' competition shows! I love how they leave it so crazy, unhinged, and blooper filled.

PLUS Making me create more words to describe and review this show. BECAUSE ONE PARAGRAPH APPARENTLY isn't enough anymore! So here is me making this six-hundred-characters to get submitted.

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.

Had me laughing and intrigued so much I binged it in a night! Beautiful, cheesy, funny, ridiculous, loved it. Don't take it so seriously it's freaking satire! They are drag queens, it is supposed to be ridiculous, extra, and campy. Some parts are funnier than others, but I laughed during each episode and loved seeing some of my favorite queens! I enjoyed the fact it didn't take itself so seriously and wasn't all super professional. It wouldn't be as enjoyable if it was like that. It reminded me a little of The Match game in the 70's, kind of unscripted, funny, free reign, ridiculous, corny, in the best ways!

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..

First, I totally get the campy vibes & humor. It's so important to continue to show and celebrate Drag. They're truly some of the most talented people out there. So, I love that this is providing more exposure to the art. But the pacing of the show is so choppy and sloppy. My brain cannot handle it. There are too many things going on and not a cohesive storyline. It bounces from cooking to Sue Chef to cooking to singing to cooking to beefcake helpers to cooking to a dinner party. I felt like I didn't know where to focus. It also looks like an elementary school kid filmed it. Sorrrrry, but this show is a drag. Heh heh heh.
