Netflix is an amazing repository of
insanity weirdness and human suffering
don't misunderstand it's also incredibly
entertaining but between their original
shows and the decade's worth of classic
theories available to binge watch let's
just say that the dark corners of
Netflix are truly dark indeed so what
are the weirdest darkest shows on
Netflix hey glad you asked
stranger things for the first season of
stranger things took the world by storm
when it's hit Netflix in 2016 the moody
atmosphere nostalgic 80s vibe and
Rockstar performances shout out to
Winona Ryder resonated so well with fans
that it was almost immediately picked up
for a second season and sure you've
heard the hype over and over again but
this is one of those rare
once-in-a-decade shows that truly
deserves every bit of water-cooler
praise if you haven't dropped an evening
on stranger things yet give it a shot if
you have seen it well it only gets
better with a second viewing the O a
another Netflix exclusive coa is a
sci-fi mystery thriller that starts with
a bang and just keeps on rolling playing
out like the crossroads between stranger
things the 4400 and another head of
netflix Jem awake the oay keeps things
low-key ramping up the intensity with
each consecutive episode but where the
Oh a really excels in its death blending
of genres serving up healthy portions of
sci-fi fantasy Hitchcockian mystery and
plain hair tearing questions the kind
that keep you hooked until the final
episode let's not talk about the plot
it's just one of those shows where
knowing what happens makes or breaks it
do yourself a favor and queue it up then
sit back and enjoy the ride American
Horror Story there's a nice year out
there that if it's mainstream it can't
really be true horror and then there's
American Horror Story which totally and
thoroughly two sprues this forever yeah
it's been getting tons of media hype
over the past few years and has won four
Primetime Emmys and two Golden Globes
but you know what that's because it
totally earned all the accolades and
attention by being the creepiest best
horror show on television since well
maybe ever if you haven't watched it yet
just know that until you do you really
ain't seen nothing yet making a murderer
they're fictional darkness and then
there's a special kind of darkness that
only happens
the story being told is all too true the
10 part documentary series making a
murderer follows the story of Steven
Avery a man who was wrongly convicted of
a sexual assault and attempted murder
and spent 18 years in jail before being
exonerated he wasn't free long though
soon he was arrested again and sent to
prison for murder but did he actually do
it or have just just failed a second
time some horror stories are too scary
to be fictional Black Mirror the sci-fi
horror anthology Black Mirror is the
spiritual successor to The Twilight Zone
only with modern stories sensibilities
and effects originally debuting on
England's channel 4 it moved to Netflix
for the third season making this the
perfect time to catch up on everything
you miss over the first two seasons what
you've missed by the way is one of the
best and most acclaimed shows on TV with
an amazing cast that includes the likes
of Jon Hamm Domino Gleeson and Rupert
Everett there's nothing like it on
television Jessica Jones it may take
place in the same comic book universe of
ant-man and guardians of the galaxy but
Jessica Jones as a world apart in style
and substance as if he in descent into
manipulation and abuse both physical and
emotional Jessica Jones pushes the
boundaries not just a superhero
television plus of television in general
it's a knife cutting straight into the
black heart of our culture and exposing
the darkness within the recesses of even
the purest salt a plaque on Tyson either
you dig anime or you don't that's cool
it's the way of things but there's anime
and then there's attack on Tyson the
story of the last human survivors living
inside a walled city to protect
themselves from enormous human eating
giant attack on Titan is a smorgasbord
of rich visuals explosive action like
swords and jetpacks and some seriously
dark themes the downside the episodes
are so short at just 20 minutes long you
find yourself clicking to the next one
without even thinking about it and
eventually you realized you wasted a
whole day you're starving and somewhere
in the house of a baby crying did you
even have a baby before you started
watching the show those freakin
cliffhangers the x-files few people
alive today had got through the 90s
without seeing at least one episode of
the x-files for many of us it was
required Friday night
doing a distinguished event on par with
Taco Tuesday it was file Friday but way
better than that film it doesn't really
matter whether you've watched the follow
up series revamp or not there's never a
bad time to settle in for a marathon
with old school Scully and Mulder and
you've got to hand it to showrunner
Chris Carter and the whole crew who put
the x-files together few things made it
through the 90s with a firm grip on
their cultural relevance the way the
x-files did Dexter before daredevil rug
tower Netflix queues and before American
Horror Story let us revel in mainstream
Gore there was Dexter
the original blood-splattered serial
killing antihero and a lovable goof
starring Michael C hall of the affable
maniac Dexter premiered in 2006 and ran
for eight solid seasons of well-meaning
slaughter
it's darkly funny and horsing ly
uncomfortable at the same time a
surgical hurricane that sucks you in the
gut and makes you beg for more the
return no no not the separate American
remake the original French horror series
the returns
also known as slave webinar is the one
to watch but this doesn't have anything
to do with Leonardo DiCaprio being eaten
by a bear it's actually much worse than
that at a number of dead people
mysteriously returns in life with no
idea how or why and the then things
start getting really creepy check it out
but don't worry about the subtitles
focusing on reading might be the only
way to keep calm once the real terror
begins Hemlock Grove executive produced
by horror master Eli Roth and based on
the hit novel of the same name by Brian
McGreevey Hemlock Grove with an original
Netflix series that delves into one
small towns dark secret turns out it's
almost harder to keep those secrets
buried than it is to keep the bodies on
the ground as both the revelations and
the corpses begin to pile up oh and
there are werewolf yeah
imagine true detective cross with HP
Lovecraft and you'll start to get an
idea of the show's tone sense8 not many
people realize on Netflix of a
collaboration between Babylon 5 creator
J michael Straczynski and The Matrix
masterminds the Wachowskis not only is
the show real but you can binge watch it
right now since eight follows the story
of eight people
around the globe who suddenly develop a
psychic link that allows them to tap
into each other's knowledge skills and
emotions it's weird crazy stuff exactly
what you'd expect from people who always
deliver the unexpected the fall at this
point Gillian Anderson can do no wrong
between the x-files Hannibal and
American Gods the woman is a force of
nature
and with that kind of lineup you'd be
forgiven for missing her in the fall yet
another killer show on Anderson's resume
but the fact is while Gillian Anderson
is great in the fall it's Jamie Dornan
who brings the show home a serial killer
prospector if you're itching for another
lightning paced hard-hitting crime
thriller to fill the hole that's in your
hearts after the first season of True
detective look no further than the fall
Twin Peaks you just can't have a list of
the weirdest and darkest shows on
Netflix without a mention of the
granddaddy of weird television David
Lynch's epic masterpiece Twin Peaks it'd
be great to tell you what it's all about
but after more than a quarter century
studying it we still have no idea
whatsoever
brilliant
I have absolutely no idea what's going
on suffice it to say that major
characters include a dead woman
a psychic log and a mysterious spirit
dwarf imagine American Horror Story with
the craziness ratcheted up a hundred
more notches and you'll start to get an
idea what when Peaks is like but the
only way to truly know is to experience
it yourself and with an all-new season
on its way what are you waiting for
a cup of coffee this is excuse me a damn
fine cup of cotton thanks for watching
