The premise of the show is a bit absurd. In no reality would the plot be viable in reality. But this is a TV show, not reality, and therefore things don't always have to match up. I don't know how to wax poetically in reviews, but I'll just say once you get past the absurdity of the situations, the show is rather heartwarming and cute. Although the backdrop is with drag queens, it's not a show about drag queens, it's a show about, well, I'm not really sure. Take a gander, watch a couple episodes, and see if it's your thing or not.

Bit late, watched this just under a year ago too. Not sure what "ritteh" means about this being an absurd plot, it's a television show, of course it isn't viable in reality! This might be one of my all time favorite shows, the strong emotional connection between each and ever character is unlike many shows. If you want an emotional rollercoster from laughing, to possibly on the verge of crying or just something to watch for 45-55 minutes a day. Watch this - just the first 2-3 episodes, and I'm sure by then you would have likely made the decision to finish it.

You've reached the end.
