Every Mind Bending TV Series



Twin Peaks, Lost, Stranger Things, Black Mirror, Russian Doll, Severance... there have been an awful lot of TV series that play with your mind by thoroughly confusing you. You either stick with it to find out if everything will eventually make sense, or you dump out because it seems like just too much effort to keep up. You start to wonder if the producers even keep up with all the details. There are also shows that try to do all this in one episode, like The Twilight Zone (it will never be done better). These are called "mind bending shows." Alasdair Beckett-King has noticed the proliferation of such television shows, and also noticed they have certain things in common, so he had to do his own version. His show nails them all in 84 seconds, including the surprise ending.
