Amazing idea, mediocre execution!

This really had me hoping for the best season of dragula ever! Amazing cast, amazing looks and mostly juicy drama!

However the show was held back by the editing yet again and this has been something that the dragula series has had a problem with every single season.

Problems that should be looked into future seasons:

1. Less drama more drag!

I loved some of the drama this season, but half of it was dragged on for too long and got a bit boring. This could have easily been edited down in favour of seeing for example more of the creative process the drag artists were doing.

2. Confusing drama!

Some of the drama happens before the show and some happens during the show, but behind closed doors and it is confusing as hell when the cast is sometimes being vague about it. They need to tell and show us, the audience of what Is going on or else we just sit their like a bunch of question marks and misses so much of the entertainment.

The Boulets even mentioned in the finale that the cast were being filmed all the time, but where is that footage when we need it to get some context in all of these fights? And why show us this out of context drama and not show us the evidence or what was leading up to it then? EDIT!

3. The fright feat. This was also a confusing part of the show as they said they would be bringing back the drag artist who got dropped into the abyss the week before, but they never implemented this rule whenever someone failed to do the whole fright feat or only did a small portion of it. So the rule kinda meant nothing in the end.

4. The finale was a joke. I mean it all lead up to a very anticlimactic ending. First they immediately crushed any chances of coco winning with the whole "we look into everything you have done this season AND your original season." The podcast was ok, but the finale floor show was not the best idea considering they had a three part floor show challenge with a prerecorded lipsynch that they didn't get to chose themselves. I mean it kinda kills the creative spirit and as we saw hindered all of their floor shows.

It is the first season of titans and it sure can be improved for future installments. They are still trying out this new format! So I am hopeful, but I can't with the whole out of context drama. The creators of the show has had 4 seasons to correct this and still not much have changed.

Overall it was an entertaining season and I still love this show to death hence why I am being passionated about the issues presented here!

7/10.

IT'S HERE!!!!

Granted, this is only the first episode and so far, I've seen about fifteen minutes of the episode but still so very happy it's here. Been waiting awhile. And I can happily state -- those first fifteen minutes are not disappointing.

What's cool about the Titans series is that for the queens from season 1-3 - is you can see their real faces. I don't know about other folk that watch Dragula but for me - it's easier to connect with the competitors when you can see them behind the makeup.

Very happy that Shudder included the first season. It has a much better effect when one doesn't have wade through the commercials on YT.

Dragula mainstream

All the great looks without the chills. The disturbing scary parts of show have been replaced by A LOT of chatting. The majority of the show now feels like it's the cast talking around the coffin table. It's nice to get to know them but like I said, it's A LOT of chatting.

They do show a bit more costume creation than in previous shows, which is really cool, but the charm is gone. The horror part is gone. Sure they had a gross challenge right away but it just doesn't feel creepy any more. Hey Boulet's don't leave behind what made you unique. Don't let your horror fans down by dialing down the creepiness. Go back to scary and disturbing.
