Netflix's buddy comedy stars RuPaul as a down-on-his-luck traveling drag performer who becomes temporary guardian to a foul-mouthed 10-year-old stowaway
Two big, demanding personalities will inevitably battle it out for supremacy. In Netflix's bitchy-wholesome road trip comedy, RuPaul's alter ego faces down a fellow attention-parched virago in the form of a lisping, prepubescent baby doll costumed in what appears to be 2001 Eminem drag . Honestly, co-starring with a child would be the last thing I'd expect from RuPaul.
The show is a throwback to the age of gender-bender comedies — when the idea of crossing the gender binary was seen as mere joke fodder and not a crucial matter of personal identity. Thorny ruffian AJ dresses as a boy, not because of a dysphoric internal world but because of the cruel external one: Boys are left alone. Little girls are not.
