Drag Race España

Apart from som little issues the season was perfect!

Every series / season of drag race is wonderful in their own way, but I seriously can't get over how incredible this season was. The host was phenomenal, the judging panel was perfect (seriously the best reoccurring judges even over drag race US imo), the cast was just incredible, and every challenge/runway really, really delivered in all elements. Drag race españa really knocked it out of the park and I can not wait for season 2.

There is something so simple, unpretentious, raw and powerful about Drag Race Espana. It seems to be a perfect recipe of a great cast, genuinely caring judges, great challenges (except the ridiculous acting challenge), organic editing (yes I know that's an oxymoron but it's true), and a wonderful celebration of the art of drag. I am a Drag race superfan, having watched them all, and cannot emphasize enough how good this franchise and season is in relation to others. The finalists and winner are so deserving, and yet they managed to achieve all of this without the manufactured drama, forced storylines and narratives. It gives strong Season 6 energy, with the winners of both being huge powerhouses, and the rest of the cast being the perfect blend of comedy, fashion, performers and dancers.

Rest of the seasons

JUST CANNOT COMPARE.

And that's the truth whether you like it or not. As an American, even the show's references towards Spanish culture were easy to understand and definitely give this season a boost of quality since the country is so rich in it. This season appears to be so incredibly refreshing due to how spontaneous and non-filtered it is, I believe, thanks to the amazing cast. I feel like removing the overly 'family-friendly' vibe the last seasons of Drag Race have had is a big plus for Spain's format of the show. Somehow it takes much less effort to connect with each and every one of the queens as they're all likable, and you can sense there's no forced drama pushed by producers going on throughout the season. Honestly cannot wait to see who wins and I look forward to watching next seasons.

All hail Drag Race Espana!

I have been watching RPDR since season one, when it originally aired, and watched all spinoffs and all stars. It might be the lackluster Down Under being shown in parallel that is putting ES in such a bright light, but out of all international series, España is standing out and really is showing what Spain is all about: cariño, fun, naughtiness, and warmth. After only three episodes, I am a fan, placing the first Spanish season shortly after UK's second (and if things continue, it might take the lead).

Great job so far, ¡no la caguéis!
