Despite being the same format and same challenges as all of the other Drag race franchises, this one has the benefit of being refreshing at choosing the drag queens competing. It feels new and exciting, I have to admit Season 1 is waaay stronger cast than Season 2 but still; the better queens (for me) in season 2 are so on other level than the queens on Season 16 of US format, the fashion, the talent, the makeup, the concepts! All of it feels ahead of its time, that's what makes the Belgique franchise so exciting to watch! The judges are charming and Rita is amazing as a host! She feels very natural and seems like she has good chemistry with the girls in the werk room. Some critiques feel out of place but, the same happens in all of the franchises, you just have to accept that art is subjective so, not everyone is going to like and see things as you do! As much as i ADORE some of the looks or performances of certain queens, sometimes judges don't seem to see what I did, and that's okay! At the end of the day this is a reality tv competition series so everything is a game and probably all planed as the season is being done, who knows?
For me this, France season 2 and Dragula are showing audiences where drag is headed in the future! Mark my words and see it for yourself, not everything has to be Supermodel of the world as the US franchise makes people believe! There are LOTS of drag art that hasn't even been shown on TV, but in here you can get a glimpse of other types of making drag!
MAKE SEASON 3 HAPPEN! <3.
