These are some of those shows.

1. Utopia

A criminally underrated show about a global conspiracy revolving around a comic book. Watch for the stellar storyline and the pristine but brutal aesthetic.

2. Happy

This entire show is on a titanic dose of acid. An ex-cop with seemingly no morals has a near-death experience, after which he starts seeing an imaginary fairy-thing called Happy, who will lead him on a search for murder most foul.

3. Legion

Based on the Marvel comics, this show’s got superpowers, Bollywood dance sequences and frighteningly strange depictions of mental illness. It follows the life of David Haller, a schizophrenic facing the possibility that the voices he hears may be real.

8. Black Mirror

Everyone’s favourite Oh BC yeh kya hua? show. This anthology series holds a mirror up to the disturbingly toxic ways technology can affect human behaviour.

9. Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams

If you dig Black Mirror, you’ll love this show. Each episode is based on a different short story by this seminal science fiction writer. It’s not as bleak as the show above, but it’s just as hard-hitting.

10. Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

Based on the works of Douglas Adams, this wonky show is about bellhop Todd Brotzman and his chance (?) encounter with Dirk Gently – an off kilter but charming detective with powers that aren’t really very easy to explain.

11. Twin Peaks

12. Fringe

Brilliant but almost-loco scientist Walter Bishop teams up with his son and FBI agent Olivia Dunham to investigate fringe science, which is basically things that hinge on the near-supernatural.

15. Hannibal
