The OA

swoo wrote "Similar mix of far out there fantasy and sci fi that is really earnest."

Life on Mars
One user recommends

swoo wrote "Can't describe it without spoiling too much but similar in thematic ways, also not sure what's going on for lots of episodes until afterwards."

Watchmen

swoo wrote "Same main writer, similar cliffhanger episode to episode and also parses out clues to show alternate universe in each episode."

Reviews

10/10 - David Moyes

8/10 - swoo
The first season is really hard to watch for a long stretch because it's not clear what is real and what is not and after getting you to sympathize with the main characters there is an awful lot of suffering but the next two seasons build on this, may not answer all the questions but interesting journey. If you're open to pure fantasy sequences this will be up your alley. This show is great at week to week cliffhangers but that mostly disappears if one binges it as I just rewatched it that way.
