The former is about documenting joy and discovery - something this show does well. The latter is about jerking tears, which is something this show strains to do. Go to Full Review Mary Elizabeth Williams Salon.com 04/22/2020

Diane H @RT03388489 02/16/2023 I just discovered this series, and I'm addicted. I'm straight, but I support same-sex marriage. I've only watched three episodes so far, but I've learned some things. For example, a gay man who turns to fundamentalist Christianity to feel better about himself, will never have a true committed relationship. That isn't fair. Caution: In order to watch this show, you must have empathy. If you don't have empathy, learn it! See more Eve M @RT42910962 10/19/2022 This is hands down the BEST reality show I have ever seen. I can already tell I'll be rewatching it for years to come. See more 06/19/2020 What a wonderful show - if you haven't watched it, you must!! Heartwarming, funny, raw emotion - it all here :). I hope there is a season 2+!! See more superfrank c @SuperFrank 06/02/2020 What a wonderfully heartfelt show about togetherness and love. Just what we need to learn and practice in this crazy world. See more devin p @RT34476688 05/27/2020 An amazing show! I hope this gets picked up for another season, seriously life-changing. There is never enough LGTBQIA+ representation in media, and this showcases everything. This docuseries follows three famous drag queens, as they travel to small towns with communities struggling to identify/accept LGTBQIA+ allies and members. The stories you can witness are impactful and can't help but make you feel joy. As an out gay man, I wish I had this show in my early years when I just felt like no one understood my situation. Please support this show and all involved... THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LOVE ❤️ See more 05/26/2020 We're Here shifts the focus from making over struggling ugly ducklings to empowering whole communities through the art of drag and queer performance.
