fringe a team of FBI investigators
looking into strange or unexplained
phenomena with the help of a Nutty
scientist doesn’t seem all that
confusing at first glance but fringe
gets progressively more layered as it
goes on besides the bizarre cases of the
week much of the show’s plot begins to
heavily feature shapeshifters several

mentioned scientist Walter Bishop whose

[Music]
number nine the Oh a suddenly stranger
things doesn’t seem so strange the Oh a
is about a young woman who returns to
her town after being missing for years
no longer blind and calling herself the
Oh a she attracts a group of students
and teacher to whom she tells her story
which may or may not involve travel to
other dimensions the unreliable nature
of the Oh a story as well as the wide
range of tones of the show can make
things hard to get a handle on I asked
the will even the format can be
confusing
who puts a title sequence 40 minutes
into an episode number 8 mr. robot
following the intricate and convoluted
world of computer hacker activists mr.
robot sees Elliot Alderson become
involved with the titular character and
while a comparatively accurate depiction
of how hacking works is sure to leave
some viewers confused the innumerable
conspiracies and conspiracies inside
conspiracies are sure to leave even more
people scratching their heads
you kept things from me and I don’t know
if I can tell you secrets like before in
addition Elliot’s paranoia and delusions
are a prominent part of the show to the
point where episodes can take place
inside his mind don’t look confused just
say ok number 7 since 8 it’s a show by
the Wachowski z– and the guy behind
Babylon 5 if you were expecting
straightforward you’re clearly not
familiar with their work sense8 follows
a group of eight people from different
backgrounds and locales as they suddenly
become connected to each other’s
emotions and experiences why or how this
is happening to them is slow and being
explained and the show features many
ethereal and confusing sequences as a
result of the protagonists link
frequently ambiguous and meandering
since eight will have you asking what’s
number six true detective season one
each season of this mystery anthology
series follows a different story than
the one in its inaugural season can
prove challenging to comprehend the
season follows former detectives Marty
Hart and rust Cole as they recount a
case from the 1990s years later to
another pair of detectives the jumping
between time periods can often prove
jarring but the fact that the ex
detectives are contrary to the title not
being truthful is also somewhat
perplexing add in rusts occasional
hallucinations brought on by years as an
undercover narcotics officer and things
can get pretty strange also what was up
with that hillbilly talking in a British
accent sometimes lots to do today number
five Legion trips inside the mind can
get confusing at the best of times but
add in mutant powers and you’ve got a
recipe for one of the most disorienting
shows on TV David Haller is a mutant
with powerful abilities whose rescued
from a psychiatric institution by other
mutants who believe there may be more to
his mental illness than their peers
the show frequently enters the
characters minds leading to confusing
sequences that may or may not involve
dancing that are often kept vague or
open to interpretation insane the show’s
whole aesthetic is rather quirky and
ambiguous to being reminiscent of a Wes
Anderson film on acid number four the
leftovers when part of the world’s
population just disappears those left
behind struggle to make sense of what
happened
and what to do going forward focusing on
the residents of a small town the
leftovers takes its initial mysterious
premise and then hits the audience with
even crazier developments such as a dead
character haunting the protagonist for
most of the series people dying multiple
times a new location every season and
the occasional time-skip with how
symbolic many of its developments are
the leftovers keeps viewers guessing and
theorizing until long after it’s over
Kevin so not to meet you number three
Westworld
set in a futuristic western themed park
filled with Android hosts nothing is as
it seems in Westworld executive scheme
guests discover themselves and the hosts
are slowly achieving consciousness their
elaborate and disparate storylines
converge in unusual ways and keeping the
hosts long lifespans you can never be
quite sure when everything is happening
or even who’s real whatever she did it
must have been serious in there making
his grab her in broad daylight Westworld
tests its audience as much as the
characters leaving viewers to puzzle
through the maze to the valley beyond
Westworld may not look like anything to
some but for those with the patience it
is one hell of a ride no no
it’s not me you’re after number two Twin
Peaks David Lynch enough said no okay
said in the eponymous town the show sees
a murder of a young woman bringing FBI
agent Dale Cooper into contact with the
quirky residents as well as their
innumerable secrets Lynch’s signature
surreal style permeates the series from
the strange characters to the infamously
bizarre sequences where cryptic clues
are seated in premonitions and visions
though many of the show’s thus far tell
their stories in unusual ways Twin Peaks
embraces how confusing it is in a way
few of our other entries do number one
lost this show has people well lost
although the setup is simple a plane
crashes on an island and the passengers
must work together to survive the
execution is incredibly complex the
survivors and the audience gradually
discover the islands long mysterious
history though many questions remain
unanswered by the show guys this isn’t
suppose a pair in addition lost features
a plethora of storytelling conceits that
frequently leave viewers confused such
as flashbacks flash-forwards and
multiple forms of time-travel even the
explanations for things conflict often
intentionally between science and
mysticism lost may not have easy answers
but that’s part of what made it and many
of our other entries must-see television
