The Dolls Face Their First Acting Challenge as RuPaul's Drag Race UK Continues To Be Much Better Than It's American Counterpart

RuPaul's Drag Race UK, Episode 2: "Downton Draggy"

The UK dolls are slaying the game and renewing my faith in Drag Race. This episode is just as good as the premiere. The girls get their first acting challenge, so let's dive right in. Cheerio!

"Run" The Flash Recaps: "Into the Void"

The Flash

"The Flash" remains the highest rated Arrowverse show as it moves into it's sixth season and its easy to see why. Grant Gustin is always personable even when Barry is being a bonehead. When it wants to be, it can be the anti-"Arrow," fun and light when the former is dark and depressing. 

When we left Team Flash, Barry and Iris were reeling from the loss of their daughter, Nora, who was seemingly erased from the timeline. Cisco had taken the meta human cure so he could finally have a normal line and a chance at love with Camilla. Caitlin and Killer Frost were still trying to figure out their new normal and Ralph was well Ralph.

"The Dark Knight" Batwoman Recaps: "Pilot"

Batwoman

The Arrowverse is the CW's cash cow. Ever since "Arrow" premiered it has introduced spin-off after spin-off. You'd think with "Arrow" ending this season that things would be slowing down. But they are not. When she was introduced in last years "Elseworlds" crossover, Batwoman was a fan favorite. It wasn't a huge surprise when it was announced that they were producing a pilot and that the pilot was picked up. Last Sunday, Kate Kane made her auspicious debut into the Arrowverse. How did it go? Read on to find out.

"Girl of Steel" Supergirl Recaps: "Event Horizon"

Supergirl

"Supergirl" started back on CBS and moved to the CW with it's second season, which is probably where it should have been all along. Each season, the show has gotten better and better. "Supergirl" has always had the best ensemble of all the Arrowverse shows, but sometimes its earnestness was its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. Last season, the show really seemed to find its groove. The fantasy genre, from sci-fi, superhero, etc, likes to use it's fantastical storytelling to mirror real life issues and "Supergirl" did a great job of taking on Trump's America with its aliens as immigrants allegory. Ben Lockwood's fanaticism was meant to evoke Trump's followers.

When we left Kara and company, Lena had murdered her brother, Lex, but not before he revealed that Kara was Supergirl. Brainy, recovered from his reversion to a cold being of pure intelligence, began his relationship with Nia Nal. The Monitor brought Lex back to life and brought J'onn's brother to exact some sort of revenge. Eve Tessmacher was approached by a representative from a group calling themselves Leviathan.

God Save the Queens! It Turns Out a Trip Across the Pond is Just What Drag Race Needed

RuPaul's Drag Race UK, Episode 1: "The Royal Queens"

Since it debuted in 2009, "RuPaul's Drag Race" has become a cultural phenomenon and a critical darling. As it's popularity and acclaim has grown, the show has expanded. Where we used to have one season per year and an All-Stars iteration to look forward to every few years, now we have both in a year. It's fair to be on the verge of Drag Race overload, even if you're a super fan like yours truly. Then, Ru decided to take Drag Race overseas. There are already off shoots of Drag Race airing overseas like "Drag Race Thailand" but the UK version is the first that is officially branded and features Mama Ru hosting and judging along with Michelle Visage. And believe me when I say, "RuPaul's Drag Race UK" is enough to make even the most jaded fan remember why they fell in love with the show in the first place.

"Fuck Batman" Titans Recap: "Rose," "Ghosts" & "Aqualad"

Titans

So, clearly, I'm still getting back into the swing of things. I'm definitely going to get back into a weekly schedule, but this week it's your lucky day. You get three "Titans" recaps in one. It's still really early, but is it possible that "Titans" is turning a corner quality-wise? Read on to find out.

"Fuck Batman" Titans Season Two Premiere Recap: "Trigon"

Titans

Oh man, everyone. Can you all believe that we are ready to start season 2 of "Titans." If you followed my season one recaps (or watched the show), you know that "Titans" had some growing pains. A lot of growing pains. It varied wildly in quality, but was still a show that compelled you to watch. As a fan of the Teen Titans, I have a lot of hope for season 2. They've promoted Minka Kelly, Conor Leslie and Alan Ritchson who play Donna Troy, Dove and Hawk respectively to series regulars. Deathstroke, a classic Titans villain is set to the big bad, and Superboy. So, here's hoping that season 2 can be better than its predecessor.
