Drag Race Italia: Little Italy (2022)
Better than last season
Season 2 of Drag Race Italia has a lot to make up for Season 1 and this episode sets it on the right track.
Even though the episode is 78 minutes long the pacing is really good and there aren't dead times like in S1.
The lighting has improved A LOT and everything feels brighter and more pleasant to look at.
Priscilla appears less robotic and warmer than usual, Chiara is fun as always and Tommaso continues to prove that he's a pro at hosting.
Now let's talk about the queens. They all seem extremely funny and they had me laugh for the entire episode. Their entrance looks were great and they did good in the design challenge.
Overall this is a great start for the season and I really hope they'll continue at this level!
Drag Race España: Snatch Game (2022)
The episode was good but...
Look, I actually enjoyed this episode. The Snatch Game overall was fine but three of the girls were extremely good and the runway was also pretty good.
The thing is...Onyx shouldn't have been in the bottom 2, Sethlas did way worse in the Snatch Game and had a cool look but no garment at all. What were they thinking when they decided to put the most interesting queen of the seasons in the bottom 2 undeservedly to then send her home?
Drag Race España: La llamadrag (2022)
I didn't like it...sorry
This musical (?) was just boring and way too long. The runway also wasn't really good...but hey, the previous episodes were great so it's not that big of a deal.
RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under (2021)
a whole new level of mess
We have seen some messy seasons like Holland S2, Italia S1 and Canada S1 but this is...beyond.
I can cope with some questionable placements, ineffective storytelling, a bit of riggory and so on but this season was really too much.
It simply didn't make sense. It was painful to watch. The judges were delusional. Production was on something. I don't even have the words to say how awful the entire thing was...I liked the queens, let's leave it at that.
RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under: Down Under Talent Show Extravaganza (2021)
what was that
I am writing that much only because I have to write at least 150 characters but my only thought about this episode is: IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
The judges were completely delusional. I always try to understand where apparently odd critiques come from but this time I couldn't give myself an answer.
Two ridiculous, boring, unimaginative and forgettable acts were saved while a fun one and an introspective and beautiful one were put in the bottom.
Ru just hated certain contestants and loved others, that must be it.
House of Gucci (2021)
Choices
Who thought that American actors portraying real Italian people speaking in English with questionable Italian accents was a good idea? It was unbelievably stupid...
Imagine if the movie was about a Chinese family and those American actors would have portrayed real Chinese people while talking in English with a fake Chinese accent. This should make you realize how cringe this thing is.
This movie was obviously made for an American audience by exploiting the stereotypical view that Americans have of Italy and Italians: a country stuck in the 50s populated by idiots whose a** is always saved by the Americans.
Also, I have a problem with the fact that this movie is based on a true story but it's so full of twisted facts, missing parts, wrong informations and inconsistencies.
The interpretations were fine (not Jared Leto's) but those fake accents ruined them...Gaga wasn't even that bad if it weren't for that.
Drag Race Italia: Grand Finale (2021)
Great finale with poor storytelling
Look, I get the frustration of some people. Farida slayed the entire season and after episode 5 they really made us think she was going to win. Having said that, Elecktra objectively did better than Farida throughout the entire finale.
Track record is important and so are the episode queens have to go through for the entire season. But the point of a competitive finale is that it's anyone's game. If it weren't we would simply have a crowning episode. It's only fair if you think about it. If track record was the criteria then the front-runner could simply show up and give us nothing for the finale and still win. It wouldn't make sense.
Elecktra gave it all in this final episode and hands down won. No one can deny that.
The real problem is that production wasn't able to give her a narrative that could fit her win. That's the big problem.
Finally, the season is fine. It's not as bad as international fans make it out to be.
Drag Race Italia: Long Live the Drag Bride (2021)
Best episode so far
This episode was the best of the season up to this moment! No unnecessary drama, great fashion, a bigger focus on the queens and not as lengthy as the previous ones.
Drag Race Italia: Snatch Game & Fab 80's (2021)
The episode is fine
People are simply mad about the double elimination. Production explicitly told that they didn't want to show everything that happened behind the scenes, which means that Enorma and Ava probably went too far.
I understand that Enorma was a front-runner and that she was doing good, but it doesn't mean that a front-runner can throw tantrums all the time and allegedly get physical with someone else.
Having said that, the episode was extremely good and the Snatch Game hilarious.
Drag Race Italia: Divas (2021)
Big Improvement
This episode was really entertaining and emotional. The cast was exceptional as always.
I really enjoyed seeing the judges, Priscilla especially, more relaxed and confident.
The runway looks were simply beautiful and the lighting wasn't distracting as in the first episode.
Drag Race Italia (2021)
Loved it
Let's start with Untucked: AWESOME. It was refreshing to see the queens letting it all out without restraining themselves out of fear of fans reception.
The cast seems very strong and in the sewing challenge many looks were pretty good and put together nicely.
The workroom is brilliantly designed and the main stage is fine.
They were all hilarious and the judges panel reminds of Drag Race España in terms of how it works.
I just hope they can make the edit more fluid and they must fix the lightning during the runway because it was too distracting.
