Who would I recommend this to?
GoT fans.

What is this about?
Political turmoil in House Targaryen.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Whenever you have 10 hours for drama.

Where does it take place?
King's Landing, Westeros.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I was curious, and loved Got pre-final season.

How did I like this?
The first three episodes were kind of boring, but after that it really picks up! Episodes four and eight were easily my favorite of the season. If you're looking for more GoT, this is not really it, but it's interesting in its own right. It has a much narrower focus, which makes it a bit easier to follow. Other than everyone having the same name.

Dragons!

When you need something fun to binge.

Where does it take place?
The workroom and main stage.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I always watch Drag Race.

How did I like this?
This was such a fun season! I really liked this twist of no eliminations; it added some good strategy to the competition. And it's always nice to see some of my favorites again (Monet, Trinity, Yvie, and Viv). Was I happy with the winner? No. Again. But it was a great season overall.

Fairytale Justice is now one of my all-time favorite challenges! That was hilarious and so much fun! And the TRL flashback challenge...so good!

Honestly, I just love seasons where the queens are getting along and you can tell they're just having a good time. Yes, they know it's a competition, but they don't get catty and mean for no reason.

How did I like this?
The makeover challenge on the main line of Drag Race is always one of my favorites, so an entire season of it is like a dream come true! I did love how this second season leaned into the "secret" aspect, as we don't know who the contestants are until they're sent home.

It's just a super fun time! Not as good as the main series, but still something to promote happiness. And I was very happy with the winner! YAY!

The end was good. Everything else...just no. You can't wait 30 years to make a sequel to one of the most epic movies ever and expect it to be good. It was trying too hard.
