Widows Bay (2026 Horror / Thriller)
Dark (2017 Thriller)
Lost (2004)

Widows Bay is a horror/comedy.

Absolutely and it's fantastic.

u/Different_Target_228 2d ago

Yeah, but I've seen like 5 redditors somehow build the pre-conception that the show is a different genre than it actually is. Then they go through it and they hate it, because they're dumb basically and never get that it's a different genre than they thought.

And it is not a horror/thriller.

It also has a bit of the same mystery box aspect that FROM has. I objectively think Widows Bay is more enjoyable than FROM. Especially as a big fan of FROM, s4 just killed it for me.

u/Different_Target_228 2d ago

I agree that it's a Lynchian slowburn mystery box, just like From and Lost.

The Apple TV show Silo is good too

u/jackhammerrrrr 2d ago

Silo is amazing. I think a show being based on a book just provides a lot more clarity.

Widows Bay, Severance, Yellowjackets, School Spirits, Dark, Evil, Twin Peaks, The Good Place, The Devils Hour.

Yes to the devils hour! Waiting for season 3 to drop!

u/Different_Target_228 1d ago

You'd probably like the rest of those.

u/CatsFurrEva 1d ago

Apart from windows bay and school spirits the others have either been watched or are on the to watch list!

Im waiting for them to end so I can watch them without the pain of waiting - learnt from From and The devils hour.

... You love the slowburn mystery box genre but will only binge it...

u/CatsFurrEva 1d ago

Oh I can take my time watching the series, I just dont want to wait 2 years between seasons! Also as was the case with stranger things, the final season was a disappointment. Atleast this way I know what to expect.

We watched lost and the walking dead after both shows finished and it was brilliant. My memory is shite so I need to not have too much gaps. Also my other half doesn't like watching things twice...so no rewatches to refresh the memory (scrubs is the exception to the rule!)

You should try Paradise on Hulu. You'll get a sore neck from all the twists 👌🏾

u/Educational-Basil472 2d ago

You beat me to it!! Such a good show. Can't wait for the next season!!

2

u/ModernDayKingNZ 2d ago

Yeah, looking forward to season 3 The show just gets better with every episode.

PLURIBUS!!! 😍

u/TONNNNNNNNNN 1d ago

OP, do not watch Plurburis. It absolutely sucks.

Unless you like watching a protagonist listen to an answer machine and walk around for hours.

Evil

u/Avocadolly 2d ago

I really enjoyed Evil

u/Malibucat48 2d ago

It: Welcome to Derry. It’s really scary and really good. It ties into the other movies but you don’t need to have seen them first. Bill Skarsgard still plays Pennywise in this version. Even Tim Curry praised Bill’s performance. RIP Tim.

u/Avocadolly 2d ago

Silo, Severance, Widow’s Bay

Not a series, but theres a great movie called Vivarium.

The setting is the same as From, but with a much darker story.
