This was the list I found. I will give it a chance too.

Personally I would very much skip Soul Hunter. It's a bad episode, and it's plot relevance is only for one of the movies. I'm also really not convinced that Survivors is strictly necessary. I guess on that one I'd say give it ten minutes, and if you're not digging it then skip.
From Season 3 through season 4 just watch every episode, it's a really solid show by that point. Season 5 is basically a coda. Watch or skip based on how you're feeling by that point. The main plot functionally resolves at the end of season 4 because of network fuckery.
Thanks!
Nice! Thanks.
