    Finished the season and I enjoyed it. The child actor is really over-bearing though and not in a good way (honestly I want to climb into the TV and give her a good clout). Could they have not found a better child actor than this one? The one they have chosen is flat out terrible which makes me think the child parents probably have ties to the filmmakers themselves hence how they got theirFinished the season and I enjoyed it. The child actor is really over-bearing though and not in a good way (honestly I want to climb into the TV and give her a good clout). Could they have not found a better child actor than this one? The one they have chosen is flat out terrible which makes me think the child parents probably have ties to the filmmakers themselves hence how they got their "not-so-darling-pie" on screen. If you can get past the child's terrible overacting, it's a rather sweet series with some wonderful life lessons baked into it. It's not going to win any awards but I don't need to watch award winning TV every time I switch the tellie on. Sometimes I just want to kick back and relax and not have to think too much about plot and this show serves that purpose perfectly.… Expand

    Hilarious and refreshing. I’ll admit the first episode almost stopped me from continuing but the cast found their chemistry and really shine.

    People are disappointed just because its something different from drag race and that's why I love it. Drag race fans are the worse. The series are great, I had a really good time watching it.

    I loved this show so much and I’m honestly don’t get all of the hate. The Caracters are so amazing, I mean yeah Aj can be a bit annoying some time but I think it doesn’t matter.

    I loved this show - it was fun, the characters drew me in and RuPaul is phenomenal and so fun to watch. Sure it is a bit over the top in places, a bit far-fetched, but it's heart is Drag!! Who doesn't love a bit of camp, tongue-in-cheek and over-the-top-ness?? I am rooting for a second season with more Drag Race veterans gracing the stage.

    Sometimes corny, sometimes non-sensical, sometimes plain dumb, but always consistent fun.

    We binge watched and enjoyed the series. I can understand those who felt that installments drew out the story too thin. The subplots could use more development but the series was worth the watch

    Great show. I hope they renew for another season. Rupaul is always fun to watch and the little girl has a great presence.

    Extremely uneven but often-lovable 10-episode comedy series.

    There are moments that are absolutely transcendently funny. ... But the series is riddled with scripting snags, potentially by virtue of trying to balance camp and commentary in hour-long episodes. There are attempts at wordplay that just do not land, leaving viewers cringing. Meanwhile, Robert is charmingly unflappable, bordering on wry in his best moments, for much of the series. His introspective moments — in which he ponders aging, love, and identity — knit the series together.

    The half-hour-per-episode version of this show might have ultimately been stronger, even though many episodes don’t feel overlong. Beyond those moments, there are so many freewheeling touches over the course of the season that keep the fun alive.
