Cenando con 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.

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!

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.

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.

I was really looking forward to this! The concept is great with amazing cast. However, the execution is awful! You can truly see when they make a "real" joke because the cast laughs candidly and it's fun and relaxed. Most jokes are however, forced. The editing is incredibly jarring, there's too much happening and jumping between events. First, I can see that the decorations are done, next, they have jumped back before they're done with that and they're cooking. They should've made the editing more logical according to time. Should've also been honest that they are finished with the concept ahead of time and just slowly introduced it in the beginning instead of making it seem as they're on a time crunch. "this is what we have planned and will now make a reality". Incredibly difficult to follow along, TOO many jarring cuts with too many things happening!! I can see through the awful editing that this could've been great, the cooking could've been so FUN but all we got was the messy jump-cuts. We can't get to know the teams at all with the constant jumping around, so there's no real reason for us to cheer for any of the teams. I would have really liked a second season of this with a more calmer and logical editing.
