going over the television series whose

storytelling and/or content can make

them hard to follow or understand these

aren't necessarily weird shows as those

have a list of their own but there may

be some overlap also spoilers might be

ahead so tread lightly

number 10 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

parallel universes including different

versions of the main characters as well

as alternate timelines and even a whole

season set in a dystopian future plus

there's the numerous quirks of the Afro

mentioned scientist Walter Bishop whose

fondness for LSD leads to the occasional

drug trip

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

his group of hacktivists EPSA saya tea

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 sense eight

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 in

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

going on throughout much of its run

number six true detectives 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

don't come I'm s

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 Grabber

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 to

show seized 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

discovered the island's long mysterious

history though many questions remain

unanswered by the show guys this isn't

just fair

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

we have to go back
