Season 1

A notably crunchy season, but one with more charm than you can possibly imagine.

Canada Season 3

A quick third trip up north brought us a competitive final four.

Down Under 1

Follow my descent into madness during the worst season of Drag Race yet.

Canada Season 2

A new judging panel and one of the franchise’s most charismatic casts made for a winning combination.

Canada Season 1

The queens were stellar, but the judging was anything but.

UK vs. The World 1

Finally, we have an international edition of All Stars.

UK Season 3

Even the best franchises hit their share of speed bumps.

UK Season 2

Split into two parts thanks to COVID-19, UK2 is a remarkable season.

UK Season 1

You won’t wanna break up (bye bye) with one of the strongest Drag Race seasons.

UK Season 4

The fourth season of Drag Race UK emphasized the importance of a good boot order.

Canada vs. The World

One of the greatest stories Drag Race has ever told came to a close this season.

Global All Stars

The global Drag Race machine flew too close to the sun.

All Stars 9

Baby, you can’t read the doll! But you can critique a too-lengthy non-elimination season.

Season 16

It feels like the best parts of old and new Drag Race are finally coming together.

Canada Season 4

A little beaver helped give us one of the best Drag Race seasons in years.

A season also known as “How Drag Race UK got its groove back.”

All Stars 8

Not everything went wrong with this All Stars outing — but most everything did.

Season 15

The MTV era kicks off — but blink, and you’ll miss it.

All Stars 7

Who will win this ultimate clash of the titans?

All Stars 6

The best All Stars season in years came at just the right time.

Season 9

As the first regular season I recapped, Season 9 holds a special place in my heart.

Season 8

Season 8 was largely beloved at the time, only to fall a bit by the wayside.

Season 7

How did this promising installment with such a strong cast go so wrong?

Season 6

Season 6 has weathered being a Logo season to remain über-popular among most recent fans.

Season 5

Season 5 is largely regarded as the peak of Drag Race’s Golden Era.

Season 4

Many consider Season 4 the season where Drag Race first truly exploded.

Season 3

Certainly Drag Race’s third installment was a memorably messy one.

Season 2

Season 2 is still scrappy and unpolished enough to be ultra-charming.

Season 10

Season 10 is a Frankenstein season that is impossibly good for the first half, only to fall apart in dramatic fashion.

Season 11

The cast has become more appreciated over time, but the season itself remains a disappointment.

All Stars 5

The top three is excellent, but getting to the end is a formality.

All Stars 4

Some of the most legendary moments come out of this season.

All Stars 3

It starts strong, but there’s no saving All Stars 3 from the jury twist.

All Stars 2

One of the all-time great seasons saved the All Stars format.

All Stars 1

This notoriously awful season has fully earned that reputation.

Season 14

The chocolate revolution will be televised. Slowly.

Season 13

Season 13 clocks in as the longest regular season since Season 3.

Season 12

Season 12 remains the gold standard for regular seasons produced for VH1.

Canada Season 5

How much experimentation with Drag Race’s format is too much experimentation?
