Season 1
One of the best seasons of the whole franchise, clearly up there with the fan favorites American ones like Season 5 or All Stars 2.
This is mostly due to a very charismatic cast with a high level of talent; every challenge was entertaining and impressive, and the fashion was breathtaking. There is also a big lack of drama here between the contestants. Usually, a good season has good drama, but as all the contestants joyfully tease each other. They do get annoyed with each other a few times, but they all brush it off with jokes.
Serious talk while putting on makeup became inevitable in the franchise to a ridiculous level sometimes, but here, each talk feels genuine and well-developed. At one point, they talk about how Drag Race fans can't be the meanest bullies online, and I was glad that the franchise finally addressed it.
I liked the judges, even if sometimes I wasn't sure they were honest in their criticism (but at least it was not as flagrant as the American seasons). Shy'm is a good addition, but only in the second half of the show; at first, she seemed a little out of place.
