If you like weird stuff like LOST. Convoluted mysteries, scifi, and horror.

This is not in any order. And I am a big film and TV show buff so Ive managed to find a lot of the good stuff (imo) and I'll share it with you.

  1. OA (cancelled after 2 seasons on cliffhanger but super good and unexpected)
  2. From (has Michael from LOST, ongoing)
  3. Westworld. (Last season was meh but the others were good but convoluted)
  4. Dollhouse (little older, smaller budget production, but solid)
  5. Severance (ongoing)
  6. Devs. (Single season completed story)
  7. 1899 (same creators as dark. Watch in original language as it makes more sense).
  8. Foundation (ongoing. Maybe 1 more season)
  9. The Peripheral (2 seasons. Cancelled on cliffhanger but really good).
  10. Silo (on going)
  11. Night sky (really wish it had a second season but still good for 1. Has sissy spacek in it)
  12. Travelers (finished up. On par with dollhouse production quality)
  13. Brave new world. (Complete in 1 season)
  14. Fringe. (A favorite of mine. Akin to x files but more goofy. )
  15. Dune prophecy. (I liked it but not everyone does. Has 2nd season confirmed.)
  16. Channel zero. (Each season is its own horror/psychology story. It's very good except last season imo.)
  17. 3 body problem. (Good so far)
  18. Lost in space (first 2 seasons good but third..meh)
  19. Tales from the loop. (This is a weird ass show but very captivating)
  20. The stand (newer one but old one good too).
  21. It welcome to Derry. (So good)
  22. Alien earth (basically aliens and blade runner mixed together).
  23. American gods. (Falls off a bit near final season)
  24. The magicians. (Adult Harry Potter and everyone is "cool" and smokes. But I did quite like it).
  25. maniac (weird trippy and underrated)
  26. Monsterland (it's weird and I loved it,)
  27. Fall of the House of usher. (Newer one and it's very good).
  28. Dream corp llc. (Absurdist scifi humor and very psychedelic)
  29. What we do in the shadows. (Comedy, unlike most of the others,).
  30. Legion. (An all time favorite. I thought 2nd season had some boring chunks).
  31. Loki
  32. Dexter.

Unrelatew to current theme :

  1. Broad city (comedy, two young women in new York and shenanigans).

Some animations.

  1. Ugly Americans (funny, dark)
  2. Venture bros (funny and sometimes a little dark)
  3. The tick (just funny)
  4. Adventure time (humor, fantasy and scifi)
  5. Futurama (scifi humor)
  6. Scavengers reign (body horror, scifi)
  7. Pantheon (dark sci-fi,)
  8. American dad (I just like Roger a lot)
  9. South Park (you get that it's satire if you are an adult. It's all satire. Even first season.)
  10. JoJo's bizarre adventure. (It's an anime. It's campy. Though the very first season is really a completely different story. You can skip it to start with).
  11. Cowboy bebop. (Scifi . The anime is funny and sad and good writing)
  12. Space dandy. (My all time favorite anime, it's hilarious and campy. Scifi based)
  13. Archer

You share a lot of my taste and made me check the peripheral but it was only one season like I thought.

Have you seen:

The expanse

Sense8

Ascension (3 ep mini series)

Impulse (jumper universe that felt a bit closer to the vibe of the books than the movie did)

Wayward Pines season one was also ok

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Seen all of those except ascension and impulse. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on ascension.

I actually recently pirated impulse , maybe I'll start it today. 👍

Also I also liked all the ones I have seen That you listed.

They definitely fit the theme/style of shows I listed.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I could have swore there were 2 seasons of Periphery .

I must have mixed it up with Pantheon which came out around the same time.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Good list, what about Twin Peaks?

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I should have added that to the list.

Also a classic

[–] hbar@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

I loved Travelers! Wish they made more stuff like it.
