About
You’ll likely enjoy RuPaul’s Drag Race if you want high-glam competition and plenty of laughter and shade, but Not for you if you dislike reality show drama or want something with less rivalry, as some people also compare it unfavorably to All Stars.
Pros: fun, fabulous competition; diverse LGBTQ+ celebration; memorable looks | Cons: drama can feel repetitive; some seasons criticized; complaints about pettiness
