I had forgotten what season 1 was like because I had accidentally started from season 3! The very first episodes is one of my favourites, it's definitely fucked up and has had a lasting memory for me. I think about that episode a lot haha.
The talent show was also pretty good, I really liked the concept.
It's a shame you didn't watch episode 3, I quite liked it. Not it's absolute best episode, but I think it's good :)

You can definitely watch them in what ever order you want! I think there are theories of the episodes being connected somehow but I haven't read any of those haha
