Recommend me weird-but-not horror type things to watch please.

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

We have netflix and amazon prime.

I've liked or loved...
Glitch. The OA. Travellers (favourite). Stranger things. The Lost room. Locke and Key. And have already watched all of Buffy and Angel as a teen and YA and not keen to revisit yet.

What else is good?

Black Mirror
True Detective
Ghost Stories (that's maybe veering a bit into horror)

Umbrella Academy
Lovecraft country - not sure if this on sky box sets or Amazon/Netflix

Dark on Netflix.

From your other choices, you would love it!

Dark tourist

Thanks for the suggestions.

I liked some of Black Mirror but some of them are a little too dark for me. I also liked Inside no 9 (iplayer or all4) as it's similar but less dark!

I've dipped into dark tourist and Umbrella academy. Sadly UA didn't grip me.

I'll check out some of these suggestions. Thanks.

Did you watch the Johnathan Norel & Mr Strange series? We've just rewatched on catch up.

Flowers

We Have Always Lived in the Castle

The Boys on Prime.

Russian Doll
Dark

Definitely second ‘The Boys’ on Amazon Prime. What a show!

Black Monday - Netflix

Oh and Russian Doll - Netflix

The Wilds new-ish on Amazon. Very good.

Have you iPlayer - Devs is excellent

I loved Locke and Key too!

IZombie. It’s more funny than scary and is very weird

I second Devs- it was a great watch.

The 3% on Netflix

First series of Black Mirror is amazing (I didn't like the pig one though).

I do have iplayer. I'll check devs out thanks.

I binge watched Fringe recently and liked its X files vibe.

Gypsy is brilliant (Netflix).

I just stumbled across Midnight Cafe on Netflix. It is Japanese, quite quirky & low key, v original. No violence, set in a tiny cafe. They often end with a recipe for the food being served in the episode. It is an entree into the Japanese culture/mindset. Loving it!

Moanranger Tokyo stories - Midnight Diner - yep - wonderful. Funny, and slightly soap opera, but also fascinating insight into the culture. Have you tried Samurai Gourmet? Not sure if We Have Always Lived in the Castle is still available...

Netflix:
Orphan black
Russian doll
What happened to Monday
The end of the f’img world

Once upon a time?

Fringe

Without doubt my favourite TV series ever made. Hardly anyone I know has heard of it but when I've recommended it to people they've loved it too. Series 1 is good but it really takes off from series 2 onwards. A very basic outline is it's about an fictional FBI team investigating fringe science events.
