What We Think

The Boulet Brothers' Dragula is about as woke as TV comes, an unapologetically alternative, LGBTQ+-centered series that gleefully subverts traditional culture at every turn, with little regard for non-woke sensibilities. If you're looking for old-school values, look elsewhere.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show's premise centers entirely on drag performers, prioritizing LGBTQ+ identity and self-expression over traditional storytelling or character arcs. The competition and judging focus on shock value, diversity, and representation, which some argue comes at the expense of narrative nuance or merit-based progression. It's clear identity factors are central.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles, religion, and norms are deliberately subverted and lampooned throughout. The show's ethos celebrates non-conformity, queer subcultures, and alternative lifestyles, often challenging and mocking mainstream values, masculinity, and traditional family structures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There is a very strong, uniform perspective celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and alternative identities. Traditional or dissenting views are absent or, when referenced, are treated dismissively or with ridicule. The ideological viewpoint is consistent and leaves little room for alternative perspectives.
