Does anyone have a good list of the most essential episodes/story arcs? I’m reluctant to commit to revisiting the entire thing, but I am interested in doing at least a partial re-watch before the new season hits next year.
What you could do is start with the chronological order and just skip the arcs you already know you don’t care for. It’s a very different experience this way that puts a lot of good material ahead of a lot of the bumpy season 1 stuff.
