If you, like most people, got pulled into the upside-down world of Stranger Things – season after season here are ten great shows you should follow that up with.
Westworld
Not far from now, there is a future where an amusement park is no longer fun rides and games. Set in such a world, things go wrong when the humanoids programmed to serve the humans begin to malfunction in ways that cause unforeseen consequences.
Black Mirror
This is an anthology series with individual stories that revolve around a common theme – technology and destruction. The twisted stories have taken many people by surprise, and this series is certainly not for the faint-hearted but is surely an engaging watch.
Humans
Human robots have become a necessary accessory in a future that seems fast approaching, much like other household items. As the show progresses, the theme is clear: will humans reign in a world where machines have much more to offer? This is a question that most of us are thinking about even today, which cements it further.
The Society
What if teenagers were all that was left, and there were no adults to make rules or keep them in control? In a small town, the adults disappear and what may sound like a fun time to a party turns quickly into a fight for survival.
Sense8
Centered around eight people with nothing to do with each other, Sense8 links them through a bizarre power of mental connection. As the government targets them, they now have each other’s back – despite not knowing much about the others.
Lost
Home, safety and trust are all thrown into the wind when the survivors of a plane crash find themselves stranded on a mysterious island with nowhere to go and no one to trust.
Outcast
After undergoing several personal tragedies, the star of the show Kyle Barnes discovers that he isn’t the cause for them, unlike he assumed. Thus begins his journey to save people that he believes have been possessed by evil spirits.
Misfits
The life of juvenile offenders is never an easy tale, but when 5 of the most misunderstood ones come together, well, that’s the rollercoaster this series will take you on. Not only are they lonely and hurt, but they also start developing superpowers after a storm.
Slasher
Another anthology series, Slasher, is a great watch from start to finish. The stories revolve around the murders of a serial killer that seems to be punishing their victims for giving into the seven deadly sins. The killer also murdered a young girl’s parents 30 years ago, and now as an adult, she is at the center of this horror once again.
Dark
Set in a German town where two children go missing, this series will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout. The mysterious disappearance of the children uncovers the complicated connection between the four families as drama and chaos unravel.
These are all great options that will keep you not only occupied but also keep your brain well stimulated.
