Drag Race Italia

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!

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.

Yes, the editing is rough, especially in the first few episodes; and the judges are stiff and unnaturally formal, in the same first few episodes; and the queens cast is quite uneven too.

But then the whole show slowly finds its own pace, or better starts moving towards it.

Priscilla, both in and out of drag, proves themselves to be a motherly/fatherly figure to the queens.

It takes a while, but the show eventually shows its identity, and it's good.

This show reminds me a lot of season 2 of Drag Race US.

Some queens are unpolished but most are real and charismatic. The judges I would say are perfect and you can tell that they fully understand the assignment.

Can't wait for watch the rest of the season! :D.

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.
