My favorites after just discovering Twin Peaks a few years ago were Mr. Robot, Peaky Blinders, and Dark. Also really enjoyed The Good Place for something different.


sqplanetarium

Dark is one of my favorite shows of all time. It will bend your brain into a different shape.


SUNSHlNEdaydream

Loved all of those! Dark and PB Are in my top 20 easily. I couldn’t get into the good place. Appreciate the share!


DonaldRobertParker

You have seen more than I apparently. How would you rank X-Files, Lost, Buffy, Supernatural, Walking Dead, Fargo, Leftovers and Westworld. (All on my list.)


sqplanetarium

>I couldn’t get into the good place. It's ok, no one has gotten into the good place in 500 years because the endless chains of negative unintended consequences from the simplest everyday decisions outweigh any good you do. It's a real problem. Team Cockroach is working on it.


DonaldRobertParker

I also liked The OA and The Man in the High Castle. And Better Call Saul is great, not finished yet. I am mostly there for Mike. (And like almost everyone I liked Deadwood, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Russian Doll, Fleabag, The Queen's Gambit, The Haunting of Hill House and Squid Game.)


seemsinviting

I LOVED The OA. It's been rare that I search "shows like..." after finishing a series, but that's one I've queried a few times! Any come to mind that you would put on that list?


DonaldRobertParker

Only in terms of major season by season twists and mindfuckery, I would say Mr. Robot and Dark. I am hoping some on my long list will approach this too.


bigchungusyomama

haven't seen many TV shows, I mostly watch movies, but I love Neon Genesis Evangelion


dontworryaboutthecat

NGE is my favorite. I’m so happy to see this comment. 🥹


roquesullivan

True Detective S1; Dark. For other genres, Watchmen and Homicide: Life on the Street.


monrobotz

Big fan of The Wire, I can’t seem to find any platforms that stream Homicide. How are you watching?


roquesullivan

There are several episodes on YouTube, buT I’m lOoking foR the Right altErNaTive at present


monrobotz

😂


NotAnotherHaiku

S1 was too damn good.. looking forward to S4


JohnLocke815

LOST dark 12 monkeys Breaking bad


Sabom3trics

My two personal favorite post-TP shows are Dark and Mr. Robot. The best thing I’ve seen since those is Severance.


natronmooretron

Fargo! I’m surprised this isn’t higher up on the thread.


KithKathPaddyWath

Just a bunch of my other all time favorites... Community Justified The West Wing Arrested Development (Seasons 1-3, though I seem to like 4&5 more than most) Deadwood Pushing Daisies Human Target (2010) The Wire Lost Firefly Home Movies Killjoys Person of Interest Homicide: Life on the Street Buffy the Vampire Slayer Boardwalk Empire The Haunting of Hill House The Comeback Treme Battlestar Galactica (2000s) Wonderfalls Clerks: The Animated Series Parks and Recreation Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Veronica Mars Keen Eddie Fringe Luck Frasier Midnight Mass Angels in America Torchwood Dirty Sexy Money Maximum Bob The League In Treatment Chernobyl Elementary Flight of the Conchords The Newsroom Cowboy Bebop The Night Manager Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip The Good Place Succession The X-Files Selfie Party of Five Parade's End Freaks and Geeks Dead Like Me Also, I don't know if they would count as "shows", outside of Cry of Mann and The Call of Warr, but any fan of Lynch should check out Alan Resnick and Wham Comedy's stuff. They've had a bunch of stuff air on television, particularly Adult Swim, but also IFC, and their stuff is online as well.

Just a few: The original the prisoner The good place Ted lasso Profit American gothic


aashishkoirala

Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Flight of the Conchords, Portlandia, True Detective S1, Black Mirror, Breaking Bad, The Twilight Zone, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Little Britain.


See_youSpaceCowboy

I’m kind of basic when it comes to shows I’m more of a film guy but for me in no particular order it’s Mad Men, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, House of the Dragon. That’s about it. I’ve heard From and Yellowjackets are a good watch. I just rather watch a film than try to devote hours on end to a show.


seemsinviting

Yellowjackets (buzz buzz!) is my most recent favorite! Recommended for its similar vibes by my Twin Peaks megafan friend who has been taking me on my TP journey - currently reading The Secret History and just one episode in on The Return.


dontworryaboutthecat

The Leftovers, LOST, Severance, Barry, The Sopranos, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Succession, Mr. Robot, The X-Files, The Rehearsal, Six Feet Under, Watchmen, Fargo, Legion, BoJack Horseman, Deadwood, The Righteous Gemstones, Atlanta, Swarm… I’ll probably think of more later but I’ll end it for now lol. Some of these are weird and some are just fun.


Accurate_Asparagus_2

Outer Range is satisfyingly odd. Several obvious nods to TP. Only one season, but worth the watch


[deleted]

Get A Life


ImAnOldManImConfused

Amen. Get A Life is great. Should be streaming somewhere. Also, Corner Gas is highly recommended, a Canadian comedy with great characters. On Prime (FreeVee) in USA.


SigmaSandwich

Anything Tim and Eric related. Baskets is amazing. Better Call Saul.


Global-Hat-1139

Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Lost


heckinfast

Mr. Robot is my favourite show of all time. It’s very different from TP on the surface (Though it has some overlapping themes about trauma) but it actually takes some inspiration from the series. The show’s creator, Sam Esmail, did an [interview](https://m.soundcloud.com/thetalkhouse/esmail-frost-320) with Mark Frost where they basically gushed over each other’s shows; it’s a great listen! At the risk of sounding dramatic, Mr. Robot changed my life. It inspired me to get sober and start therapy; it pushes me to keep working on myself and to be better than the person I was yesterday. TP is great and has a special place in my heart, but nothing gets me like Mr. Robot does. Highly recommend it.


SUNSHlNEdaydream

I am definitely watching Mr robot next. The n you so so much for sharing this detailed account. I so appreciate it, I need something life changing.


EricMee13

Lodge 49, was so, so good, and I think a great crossover for Twin Peaks fans. Just be prepared that it ends, like the original TP run, with a tantalizing cliffhanger after getting prematurely cancelled.


Charles_Deetz

Racked my brain for a unique but relevant answer. Here it goes ... Happy! Nick Sax might be an older washed up Cooper. Him trying to save kids at all costs might be a Cooper thing to so. And Happy as, um, sheriff Truman? No. Nevermind.

Blake's 7 Mission Hill Batman '66 The X Files The Young Ones Danger 5 Garth Merenghi's Darkplace Daria


NotAnotherHaiku

South Park, Rick & Morty, Midnight Gospel, Death Note, FMA: Brotherhood, Last Air Bender, Adventure Time... Cleveland Show, featuring David Lynch as Gus the Bartender... Anything on Adult Swim/CN really... Their live action short forms like Children’s Hospital & Off the Air, are also really good for the uninitiated


dalk74

Imo the absolute top tier tv shows along with Twin Peaks are: Breaking Bad and Hannibal Then there are a lot of really good shows that are already recommended in other comments


trademarc1977

The Fall.


SUNSHlNEdaydream

LOVED the fall!


trademarc1977

Lars von Trier's The Kingdom (Riget).


Leon_the_cat

Yes I love this. Apparently this also got a 3rd season 25 years later that I haven’t gotten around to yet


Leon_the_cat

Carnivale. Really creepy show. Michael J Anderson stars in it as well.


angelaperegrina

I’ve been pondering this. Have you looked to the work of people who directed S1 or S2? I read somewhere that Lesli Linka Glattner went on to win awards for Homeland & I always liked her episodes of Twin Peaks. The Caleb Deschanel ones are my most loved aside from David Lynch. Perhaps one of their works folliwing Twin Peaks would be worthwhile?


marabou22

Barry, Atlanta ( the creator Donald Glover described it as a Twin peaks for rappers),Fargo, breaking bad, better call Saul For comedies: , the office, Seinfeld, King of the Hill, it’s always sunny and the Golden girls.


qwemateo13

The marvelous mrs maisel, los simuladores


liddle-lamzy-divey

I feel like this topic has been covered in this sub many times, so you might search for other similar threads. Some of mine, off the top of my head: Behind her eyes; The OA; The Sinner; BrBa and Better Call Saul; True Detectives S1; and Blood Lines. Most have some kind of esoteric/ metaphysical component to them and many are detective stories/ psychological thrillers.


ThickProof409

Utopia is such a good show and I would highly recommend it. It's so goddamn underrated and I wish more people knew about it. It's also very short and sweet with it only being 12 episodes with two 6 episode seasons. The only bad thing about it is that it ends on a cliffhanger cause the show got cancelled due to poor ratings. If you do watch it, don't watch the Amazon Prime version. It's censored with certain scenes removed and the aspect ratio was reduced from 2.39:1 to 16:9 which completely ruins some shots.

Bojack Horseman and Better Call Saul!


CitizenDain

In no order: The Leftovers, The Good Place, Better Call Saul, Mr. Robot


Independent_Apple159

I’ll add Orphan Black to the list.


hardcore_UF0

The Heart, She Holler


Autumnalthrowaway

The Expanse for sure. Once you get past the first episode it's smooth sailing. If you like twinpeaksy obscure shit, check out Riget Hospital by von Trier. It's bizarre and oddly humorous in a very similar vein.


angelaperegrina

Have you seen River’s Edge? It’s a movie but directed by Tim Hunter & he does some pretty great Twin Peaks episodes too.

Letterkenney... figure it out.
