<blockquote class="spoiler">
<p> Psycho Pass Sinners of the System: First Guardian focusses on the events surrounding lieutenant Teppei Sugo, ace pilot of the fifteenth joint force (later enforcer in the PSB), and his military career.

However, I think otherwise since the introduction of First Guardian shows the characters Frederica Hanashiro, Sho Hinakawa, Nobuchika Ginoza, Akane Tsunemori, Mika Shimotsuki, ...etc that only appears after Season 1, some even after Season 2 or later. Thus, it should be watched after Season 2. On the other hand, however, it <em>should</em> be watched as soon as possible once the cast shown in First Guardian is all introduced in prier seasons. Consequently, I think it should be watched before Case 1 and 3 but after Season 2.</p>

<p>As for the specials, I agree with @senshin that they don't actually change the plot or make any major changes/improvements. Just don't bother about them and watch the films and series in the order I mentioned above. The specials don't change this order; i.e., you can replace Season 1 and 2 with Special Season 1 and 2, it doesn't matter.</p>

<p>I just watched season 1 (episodes 1-22) of Psycho Pass on Netflix and now I want to watch the rest.</p>

<p>On the Funimation site there is:</p>

<ul>
<li>Episodes 1-22 (Season 1)</li>
<li>Specials 1-11</li>
<li>Episodes 23-33 (Season 2)</li>
<li>Also there is the recently released movie.</li>
</ul>

<p>I haven't started any of the specials or season 2 yet; I don't want to accidentally watch something out of order and spoil it. My question is: Where do the specials fit into the series? Between the two seasons? Side stories? Prequel? After season 2? When should I watch them?</p>

<p>The episode lists I've found seem to leave out the specials so I'm not sure how they fit in.</p>

* Episodes 1-22 (Season 1)
* Specials 1-11
* Episodes 23-33 (Season 2)
* Also there is the recently released movie.

If you've watched the first season, you should skip the specials and proceed directly to the second season. After that, watch the movie (when it's available).

The "specials" (usually called "Psycho Pass: New Edit" or "Psycho Pass: Extended Edition", I think) are a re-cut/updated version of season 1, [with only minor changes](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/14021/1908). The reason there are only 11 of them is that they're double-length. If you were starting from nothing, it would have been better to watch the "specials" and then season 2, but since you've already seen season 1, I don't think there's enough new content to warrant watching the re-cut version before moving on to season 2.

The best order is the chronological order:

1. Psycho Pass Season 1.
2. Psycho Pass Season 2.
3. Psycho Pass: The movie.
4. Psycho Pass: Sinners of the System: Case 2: First Guardian.
5. Psycho Pass: Sinners of the System: Case 1: Crime and Punishment.
6. Psycho Pass: Sinners of the System: Case 3: On the Other Side of Love and Hate.
7. Psycho Pass: Providence.
8. Psycho Pass Season 3.
9. Psycho Pass: First Inspector.

Note: Putting Sinners of the System: Case 2: First Guardian before Case 1 and 3 and after the first two Seasons is my personal opinion. Here's why:
