• At first I think the Belgian iteration of the bloated drag franchise seemed both very cheap and quite redundant. It didn't have the bold creativity of France or Spain so I was quite sceptical and there were definitely issues with the judges and even the host (I love Rita Baga but she is quite understated here). However, watching it alongside the other newbie (the deeply uneven Sweden), there definitely seems to be a certain strength in Belgium's general safeness and it ended up looking quite comforting in comparison. It sticks to the formula and there's a nice solidarity between the queens which I always prefer. The second season was more of the same and appeared belatedly with a bit of a welcome judge shake-up. Sadly the only memorable element for series 2 is that the franchise-wide end theme was replaced by a new Ru single for Belgium which was as catchy as it was terrible. Going down town we know where we're going going down town we know where we're going etc etc etc.
