HBO Max's lively Legendary is unapologetically queer, unabashedly fierce, and hits the runway up to speed.

Its messaging is slapdash, but its production value is slick as hell, packaging ballroom as an almost high octane sport. Whether you're an aficionado or neophyte, one has ever seen ballroom presented with such a lavish eye.

We only caught the first two episodes, but if there's only one reality show to keep track of this summer, then it's absolutely this.

It's so relentlessly, joyously celebratory and life-affirming in a way other ball culture representations have failed to convey.

Legendary is a thrill from start to finish, the type of soul-reviving celebration the world sorely needs. Instead of distracting or numbing the viewer it enlivens and hooks us.

"Ballroom taught me how to be me," one of the competitors says, and Legendary works by being both a celebration of that self-expression and a formalized exercise in the defiant competitiveness that emboldens it.
