Hi, I'm a guy who watches/used to watch Winx. I first watched it when I was six to eight years old, back in 2005-ish. I had three sisters so after school, they'd take command of the television remote to watch their shows. That's how I got introduced to Winx. I was a kid, so I didn't understand most of what was going on, but I loved the action and the magic.
We only saw the first three seasons - Rai English - before we moved elsewhere (pretty fortuitous as it turns out). Now, over a decade later, I have just marathoned through the first three seasons in two weeks, for childhood nostalgia more than anything else.
So, my opinion:
1- First season's great: nice soundtrack, magic, epicness, fighting etc.
2- Second season's okay. Loved Layla, didn't like Darkar, pixies were okay. Loved the new Red fountain.
3- Third season: best season. Loved the sacrifices (especially Flora's), Valtor as a villain, the Valtor-Trix relationship, the humor.
4- Got up to the tenth episode of season 4 before I quit in frustration. Hated the setting of Gardenia, hated their shop, their nauseatingly cutesy pets, the pathetic villains, the focus on girly stuff rather than adventure. Bloom's Mary-Sue'ness was unbearable. Hated the new soundtrack.
(And from what I'm hearing of the other seasons, I don't think I'll be watching them either. Makeovers, new voice cast, increasing focus on clothes and relationships? Instant turn-off.)
-Flora's my favorite fairy. A girl as kind and sweet (and pretty) as her is a rare gem. Flora's inspired me the most.
-Layla and Techna tie for second place. Layla for her sportiness, fighting skill, powers and wit. Techna because who doesn't love a hot, geeky girl?
-Of the boys, I liked Riven, Nabu and Helia. Riven especially in season 1 because of his complexity of character. Nabu 'cuz he's a badass wizard. Helia because I can relate to his quiet guy persona. If I could be a character in Winx, I'd be Helia, partly because he has Flora as a gf.
-Darcy's my favorite Trix. She's clever, witty at times, wears glasses, more calculating and calmer than her sisters and has the best powers. Griffin's my favorite witch.
-I didn't particularly care about the girls' clothes, but I will say Stella's Winx outfit was the sexiest of them all. (In fact, I think Stella might've been my first animated crush.) Techna's was pretty cool-looking too, especially as she had a paraglider? for wings.

I love the show Winx Club, but in season 4, the creators of the show changed Musa's appearance from tomboy to girly. I really liked Musa's old style, and I hope they bring it back!
Moving on to the best, (and the worst), transformations! I really liked seasons 1, 3, 7, 6, and 4. The other seasons, I liked them too, but they weren't as good as the original seasons. Transformations, I REALLY liked the 4kids and RAI Version. It's surprising that they didn't put the We Are The Winx theme in the Rai version!
The best transformation in my opinion was seasons 1 to 3. The theme song was great and the transformations were really nice.
The worst was Butterflix and Believix. I didn't really like the butterflix transformation song.
That's all for now, I just hope they return Musa's old style!
