THE 10 BEST SERIES OF THE DECADE (2010-2019)
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’
The mother of all drag shows and never better said. RuPaul jumped into the pool back in 2009 (and it’s been 14 seasons since then) with this talent show that she’s looking for crown “America’s Next Drag Superstar”. perfect program for get to know drag in all its facets: sewing, singing, dancing, posing, acting…and fight, because only the best will win.
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars’
Although there are several programs derived from RuPaul that can be seen in streaming (‘Untucked’, ‘Christmas Special’ or the ‘Famoseo Special’), this one should be highlighted above the others since, although it shares many characteristics with the program mother, it also offers many other different possibilities. Here, we meet again with some of the most beloved queens (and hated) who failed to win on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ and that they return to the fray, ready to teach new skills that will lead them to victory.
RuPaul takes advantage of this format to try new things and innovate so you never know what’s going to happen next.
‘We’re Here’
Speaking of former ‘Drag Race’ contestants, here are three of the most memorable contestants starring in their own show: Shangela, Eureka and Bob the Drag Queen. the three queens they travel through US cities and in each episode they turn a person into drag for a day. The result is probably the most emotional program of this selection, in which you see the most human side of drag without excessively loading the inks.
Perfect for understanding the art of drag in all its forms from the hand of three drags who are all charisma and pure love.
‘Drag Race Spain’
With its second season about to end, here we have a national ‘Drag Race’ that captures well the spirit of the original and at the same time shines with its own light. The work of adapting the format is more than satisfactory, but nothing would make sense if it weren’t for the wonderful cast of contestantswhich come to show that there is a lot of drag talent in the Spanish-speaking world.
‘Queen of the universe’
First program broadcast openly in Spain on this subject, which search for the best drag voice worldwide. Produced by RuPaul, this kind of “Eurovision drag” of only 6 chapters brings to the stage authentic queens of the songboth among the contestants and in the jury itself.
‘A queen is born’
With a format similar to ‘We’re Here’, Gloria Groove and Alexia Twister are the hostesses who will help several hopefuls to put out their best possible drag. The interesting thing about this reality show is that, in this case, takes place in brazil, so it shows us a different look at this art beyond the North American. A good option while we wait for HBO Max Spain to bring ‘Queen Stars Brazil’.
‘Dancing Queen’
If before we talked about charismatic contestants who have gone through ‘Drag Race’, we can not forget one of the quintessential queens: Alyssa Edwards. This reality show revolves around her and her day by day, in relation to his profession in the dance school (Impossible to forget her talent as a dancer, amply demonstrated in the talent show) and at drag shows.
