      Though it doesn't always come together, AJ and the Queen is a sweet, sometimes off-the wall adventure that's fun to watch even when it's fumbling.

      Allyssa H I think the show was incredibly moving, hilarious, beautiful ❤️ I want more episodes y'all are haters fr!! 💔 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Kathy H Interesting show, this. It seems to think it's a positive expression of inclusivity and smashing stereotypes while leaning heavier on the unfit mother junkie prostitute trope than any other show I've seen in decades. Hell, that trope holds the whole show up. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Agnieszka W Świetny film, pokazujący jak wyglada życie, nie przekoloryzowany, bardzo uczuciowy, aktorzy fenomenalnie odegrali swoje rolę, wg mnie film fabuła i cała reszta idealna 100% na 100% mam szczera nadzieję, że wyjdzie 1m2gi sezon . Trzymam kciuki choć mam obawy czy się uda zważywszy na dyza niewiedzę ludzi rasizm , homofobię i znieczulice ludzi na innych Normalnych ludzi od których hetero i powinni się uczyć i nie szufladkować ludzi , bo są o wiele wiele bardziej czuli i wyrozumiali dla innych . Przykro mi jak wiele ludzi jeszcze tego nie rozumie. Całym sercem popieram nakręcenie 2giego sezonu i więcej filmów w w ka5egorii filmowej i całym sercem jestem z tymi wszystkimi wspaniałymi ludźmi. I jestem 1000% heteroseksualna a k9cham tych cudownych ciepłych i wrażliwych ludzi o podziwiam za odwagę bo tak muszą mieć piekielna odwagę by zmierzyć się ze znieczulica tak wielu zaciemnionych ludzi którzy sami żyją w maskach i klonami którzy nie mają własnego ja bo nie mają wystarczającej odwagi by być prawdziwi i sobą.. dla czego ? Bo boją się oceny innych ludzi . Więc zamiast krytykować inne rasy poglądy czy seksualizm zastanówcie się ile muszą mieć ci ludzie odwagi i z czym a raczej kim muszą się mierzyć każdego dnia by walczyć o siebie swoją godność i swoje prawdziwe ja . Pozdrawiam i trzymam mocno kciuki za Was ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Connie It was hard watching Robert go through everything in the first couple of episodes without wanting to reach through the screen and help him. And AJ was an annoying, obnoxious brat too. But then something happens and you binge the whole season and won't why the hell they didn't make a second season. Ruby Red is everything. Watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Ruby J it's hard to make a street kid with a drug addicted mother funny, it felt like the show had bad aim and it never hit. Some scenes were just dumb, the RV falling over and being placed upright and driven away was ridiculous. As always, Ru was fab but the kid got annoying real fast. The blind guy remembering the prostitute/drug addicts sequin butterfly shirt was my favourite part. If he's blind how could he have seen it? Bad writing, decent acting, mildly entertaining. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Audience Member AJ and the queen is a fantastic series I was sad to hear Netflix has failed fans by cancelling the second season if you love drag race you will love this fun loving story of a drag queen who had been scammed out of every penny and a kid whose lost and looking for family Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com AJ and the Queen can be a lot of fun... But the series is riddled with scripting snags, potentially by virtue of trying to balance camp and commentary in hour-long episodes. Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic The gospel Ruby-slash-RuPaul preaches is not one of great transformation but rather one of great transcendence, and the vision of queens as mini-Oprahs, capable of therapizing away America's wounds, is seductively comforting. Jan 15, 2020 Full Review Liz Shannon Miller AV Club There are moments that feel a little jarring... Beyond those moments, there are so many freewheeling touches over the course of the season that keep the fun alive. Rated: B+ Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Bailey Jo Josie Film Inquiry Despite some stumbles and clumsy writing, the first season of AJ and the Queen is a heartwarming, heartbreaking delight that lets you ride out every emotion while giving you a few laughs and some amazing drag, too. Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Monique Jones Just Add Color Unfortunately, RuPaul continues to get in her own way in this series. Pretty annoying, since I wanted to love this series as a longtime RuPaul and Drag Race fan, a fan who sees the good and the bad of RuPaul's reign. Apr 3, 2020 Full Review André Hereford Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Fasten your seatbelts, as Netflix's AJ and the Queen is a rambling, overlong road odyssey.
