![]() Survival of the Thickest, however, is her most exciting acting role yet. She’s also been a prominent part of the drag competition show Call Me Mother and has appeared on television in Pose and God Friended Me. In 2018, Peppermint became the first transgender woman to originate a principal role on Broadway, in the show Head Over Heels. Her career has only become more impressive since then. Her work reminds me of a moment from one of my favorite Simpsons episodes: “Whenever Poochie’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking: ‘Where’s Poochie’?” Just replace an animated dog with a glorious drag queen, and you have Survival of the Thickest’s best character. Whenever Peppermint wasn’t on screen, I wondered why when she was, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Peppermint’s is the kind of performance overflowing with so much charisma and charm that she towers over everyone else in the best way. But that doesn’t matter: Every moment Peppermint appears in Survival of the Thickest, the show is better for it. She doesn’t even appear in every episode. She doesn’t have a major story arc, and her character doesn’t go on any particular journey of her own. But Peppermint has the smallest role of Mavis’ friends. Peppermint, an iconic NYC drag queen, plays one of Mavis’ friends, who all help her find herself post-breakup. When they say that there are no small parts, only small actors, they mean it-and Survival of the Thickest proves it. ![]() Mavis’ life seems to be finally lining up the way she’s longed for-until she arrives home to find her boyfriend cheating on her. Inspired by her collection of essays of the same name, Buteau plays Mavis Beaumont, an up-and-coming stylist in a relationship with a prominent photographer. Survival of the Thickest, the new Netflix series starring comedian and The Circle host Michelle Buteau, is a sweet, thoughtful, and effortlessly watchable series. ![]()
