Cover Girl transports us into a parallel universe, that of three drag queens (played by René-Richard Cyr, Vincent Bolduc and Frédéric Pierre) determined to live their marginality in the open. If audacity, rivalry, love, vulnerability and friendship are on the program, Cover Girl is first and foremost an iconoclastic, disheveled, biting and impertinent comedy that is not afraid to attack the taboos of our society. A television series of its time.
