I’m on episode three and addicted/fascinated. Looking for buddies to discuss and share thoughts. Such an innovative show. Opened my eyes to a whole new world.

Yes! I almost quit during the first episode because I didn't realize the house mother's cruelty was just setting the scene for Blanca's next move. Before watching, I knew nothing about ball culture. The show is so interesting; I've been watching it every evening while I wash dishes. Great cast.

@yellowbeach: Yes! I just started watching it. I think I'm on ep 3? I think it is SUCH an important little sliver of 80s/90s culture to share that seriously no one knows about. It's heartbreaking in so many ways but also so lovely and heartwarming too. Gah. I'm super impressed. And what an amazing breakthrough opportunity for so many trans actresses!

I heard an interview on NPR about it and was fascinated. https://www.npr.org/2019/07/11/740704882/pose-choreographer-creates-a-safe-space-on-the-runway
I haven't watched it yet, but I'm excited to start!

Yes! All caught up. I remember seeing the doc “Paris is Burning” in college and that was my first exposure to the ball culture. I’m really enjoying the show and it pulls a lot of plot points from the lives of those featured in the documentary.

@Mrs. Pajamas: yes the balance they strike is so fascinating and tantalizing. Plus the eye candy of all the costumes. There’s so much to like.
