He convincingly portrays a full range of emotions. AJ is an annoying character at first, but you need to have empathy for what she’s endured and give it a few episodes. It’s called a character arc, people. Iggy is an amazing young actress and has a bright future ahead of her. As for the rest of the show, some of the plotlines and acting are camp and over-the-top, but they’re supposed to be! What did people expect from a show about drag queens? Ruby & AJ’s relationship arc feels completely real and keeps the whole show grounded. Most of the drag race queens are natural actors too. Tia Carerre is over the top and ridiculous at times, but she’s supposed to be. Again, I don’t know what people expected, but overall I was delighted and hope there’s a season 2.… Expand

This was so much fun. The casting is terrific. The story is involving. RuPaul is remarkably winning. It was so nice to see Adrienne Barbeau again. And Marc Singer? I mean, come on! Both were terrific. It's a great place to be for 8 hours.This was so much fun. The casting is terrific. The story is involving. RuPaul is remarkably winning. It was so nice to see Adrienne Barbeau again. And Marc Singer? I mean, come on! Both were terrific. It's a great place to be for 8 hours. RuPaul should make more series like this. Where did they find Izzy Gasperz? She carries the show on her tiny capable shoulders. And Izzy is such a fine actress. Anyone up for a remake of Paper Moon? And where do we start with Josh Segarra who is featured on several of the episodes in a see-through top. He is such a doll. (I want to see him in the Ryan O'Neal Dad role in that Paper Moon remake.) I like the way RuPaul thinks. I like his approach to entertainment. I find funny the things he finds funny. Sure, it can be cornball, silly. But it always works. Most Inspired Character of the series has got to go to Michael-Leon Wooley. That man is the real deal in every conceivable way.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vamos desconstruir? Essa série mostra exatamente isso, no qual uma criança 'AJ' e Ruby Red viajam por várias cidades, e durante toda a temporada eles se metem em muitas confusões como tentar fugir do ex da Ruby Red que a roubou, e agora ela tem que recuperar o dinheiro tentando fazer o máximo de show possíveis, e no fim da trama ganhar o concurso de Drags, além dela na série se traz uma transparência para as Drag Queens como Valentina, Latrice Royale, Monique Heart, Jujubee, Trinity The Thuck entre outras.
A cada episódio o interesse aumenta, que já espero a segunda temporada; o que será que vem por aí?… Expand

No wonder this show got canceled. The chemistry between Ruby and AJ kind of worked, but the writing is just too awfully dated for this to be remotely enjoyable.

The chemistry between Ruby and AJ kind of worked, but the writing is just too awfully dated for this to be remotely enjoyable. Situations and stereotypes we saw billions of times with sprinkles of weak LGBT propaganda and RuPaul self-celebration. Everything is so comfortably predictable that unless you are a Drag Face fanboy there is really little to enjoy. It's doesn't even fall under "so bad it's good". No way I could have watched the whole thing if someone hadn't forced me.… Expand

Es increíble, ¿Tiene capitulos que son neutrales? Sí, pero hay capitulos que son muy buenos y transmiten sentimientos, ¿Necesitamos una segunda temporada? Sí.

La historia es bastante sencilla, que toca aspectos sociales modernos ligados al genero y sexualidad de las personas.

ActuacionesLa historia es bastante sencilla, que toca aspectos sociales modernos ligados al genero y sexualidad de las personas. Posee pequeñas situaciones de tensión y drama, arruinados luego con las cuotas de humor básico, pero efectivos. Actuaciones mediocres, con participación de artistas Drags reconocidas y donde Rupaul destaca sus cualidades y carisma. PS. Se considera importante estar familiarizado a la temática drag, ya que sino varios chistes pasarían desapercibidos.… Expand

Bad. The only reason I give it a one is that I like Ru and some of the random queens shoehorned into this dumpster fire. Acting is terrible across the board. Gave it a three episode shot. Not bothering to give it a second chance. Bad, just bad.

Pretty much the only reason to watch this show is if you're a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race. As a fan of Drag Race, I wanted to support the show. I did enjoy seeing the cameos from all of the queens.

I did enjoy seeing the cameos from all of the queens. But it was hard to get past the writing. AJ's character was infuriating to sit through. It is a cute show that you don't have to pay much attention to, but something about it feels like a cheesy TV movie. I didn't really have many complaints about the acting like many other people did. I more had a problem with the story and writing. I don't think the show was terrible- I'd say it was bearable. With that said I wouldn't really recommend the show to anyone unless you're a fan of RuPaul and Drag Race.… Expand
