It’s really about what feels more alive to you. If you line up by the seasons, you keep the show’s natural rhythm and the way the story unfolds with its own peaks and valleys. It’s a bit like listening to a piece of music in its original tempo—you get the full flow. But if you rearrange for emotional impact, you might feel the highs and lows more dramatically, which can make the tragedy hit harder. I lean toward the season order because the show was written to build on itself; the shifts in tone and the character arcs feel more cohesive that way. And pausing—yes, absolutely. Take a moment after each episode, sit with the silence, maybe light a candle or just stretch. It lets the loss settle in and the renewal feel earned. It’s like a little ritual of breathing before the next storm. It keeps the cycle from feeling rushed and reminds you that grief, like a garden, needs time to grow.
