01The take
The Handover.
A stable cast on its last full run together.
02The shape of the season
A rhythm worth tracking.
Season fifteen is notable for the continuity it achieved and the rupture that followed. The same six full-time Housewives returned unchanged — the first stable main cast since the golden era — and the season gave them real material to work with. The Portugal trip was a genuine highlight. Drew Sidora's marriage deteriorated visibly on camera. The season runs shorter and lighter than its predecessors, but functions. What came after makes season fifteen feel, retrospectively, like a chapter's close.
03Where it sits in the canon
The #13 slot.
Slot #13 of 15 in the Real Housewives of Atlanta Editor's Canon. The seasons on either side show what I ranked it against.
