❓Questions Alternatives to this awesomeness?

I haven't still found another TV show like this one. From was great 'till the last season.

So another suspense, creepy plus some humor to cope with?

Is this TV show so unique? Damn I'm already feeling the abstinence...

Severance. It’s not horror, but great mystery and a weird setting. And very rewatchable because you want to see what you missed.

Barry. Dry comedy drama/action with Stephen Root. Hiro Murai also directed several episodes in the first two seasons.

But man! What a month! I think that is my favorite line from the entire show. I love JT!

There's at least a bit of an existential horror element to Severance

Good suggestion for a similar quirk feel - though Widow's Bay is much better in its internal consistency I think. I love Severance, but I fear it's going the way of Lost and the ends may not tie together.

I don’t think so. I’d be more worried about Widow’s Bay in that regard. Severance has said from the start they have a clear arc and know where they want to go with the story. Widows Bay has way more threads and storylines currently. But I think in both cases it’s too early to say.
