I'm looking for suggestions based off of my top 20. People have suggested Twin Peaks to me... but that looks really stupid so I refuse to watch that. I was also suggested Legion (2017-2019) and that was horribly confusing so I quit in the middle of season 1.

Twin Peaks is a horror fantasy. But it's not stupid. It's quite well done. I think you got lost on the surrealism.

Arcane (2021- )
THE best series ever made according to me. It's like Game of Thrones for kids, but way, way better. 10/10.

Thanks for the suggestions! Loved Smallville. Not a big fan of Corner Gas at all, even though I am Canadian

Totally understand ☺️ Have you tried “Hiccups”?

You seem to like supernatural elements, mystery or thriller, good characters and some soap opera.

I'd recommend
- Life on Mars, the original English one. A cop has an accident and wakes up in the 70s. Great story. Wonderful acting (Harvey Keitel is brilliant). And some supernatural elements that reminds Shyamalan.
- Le Revenants, the original French one. Dead start coming back to life with no memory of having been dead. Supernatural and thriller elements.
- Dead Like Me. It's like Friends, but with Grim Reapers.
- Luther, first season. If you liked Breaking Bad and Dexter, you're gonna love the first season of Luther. Ruth Wilson steals the show. Sadly, the following seasons abandoned her character, which was amazing. But that first season still holds.

I absolutely loved Les Revenants - Great show! I'll have to check out the others. Thanks!

[–] kukuxu (5409) 3 years ago

If you're gonna give some chance to one of them, check Life On Mars. Its only flaw is that it feels too short. I'd have loved 2/3 more seasons.

Check The Prisoner (1967). Haven't seen it yet, so this one I can't tell, but somebody who had a very similar taste in shows highly recommended it to me, in this forum.

No Sopranos?

The Sopranos, Lilyhammer, Rome

I agree with a lot of the suggestions you've gotten so far. I would add 'Ozark' because you loved 'Breaking Bad,' and 'Carnivale' because you loved 'Lost.'

'Carnivale' only lasted two seasons and unfortunately ends on a cliffhanger, but it is a fantastic watch, and not a huge commitment.

Another vote for Ozark!
