Attack on Titan's release was split into many parts, which makes the order look more confusing than it is. Here is the clean, correct way to watch it from start to finish.
Quick answer Watch in this order: Season 1 → Season 2 → Season 3 (Parts 1 & 2) → The Final Season (Part 1 → Part 2 → the finale specials). It is a single continuous story.

A note on the Final Season
The Final Season was released across multiple parts and finale specials over several years. Despite the staggered release, it is one continuous arc — just watch the parts in order, ending with the finale specials.
What about the OVAs and recap films?
The OVAs are optional side stories you can watch any time, and the recap/compilation films cover the same content as the series. For a first watch, stick to the seasons in the order above — soldiers like Levi are best experienced in sequence.
