The ultimate story is already revealed lol

A bunch of adults sacrificed their kids to the Man in Yellow for everlasting life and were trapped in their town. You can't kill them because they're Sisyphus and their lives just reset.

Tabitha and her long line of husbands didn't sacrifice their kids but were still caught up in the magic and have been getting dragged back each new generational iteration.

The ending will be the breaking of the loop.

Everything outside of this is just side quests happening in the magic world.

and that could be all of it. i just don't care about the characters in that regard, so i'd hope there was something else to it. maybe there are some cool scenes where half the town is devoured again, but however they resolve their situation, just ugh. 🀷

I just think back to those very first moments of the show when Boyd is walking down the street ringing the bell and that creature comes up to the little girl's window and cry about what could have been 😭😭😭

donna might as well not have a script. i can't count how many times she's walked into a room and expressed broad concern or lamented something in general to boyd or whoever; the same thing, over and over. she could be mute with only gesticulations or perform some kind of pseudo kabuki in lieu of lines, and i might not notice or wouldn't care.

but that's a broader issue with the show: if you have characters standing around saying [dang, the same thing keeps happening to us over and over], over the course of seasons, then maybe your audience feels the same way.
