One week, you’re “Top 10 in 42 countries,” the next week, you’re cancelled, forgotten, or buried under another true-crime documentary about a man who befriended his toaster. Yet, hidden beneath the Bridgertons and the Squid Games of the world lies a quiet graveyard of brilliance — shows that dared to think differently, feel deeper, and challenge the binge-culture beast.

At least, that’s the pitch. The reality? A stylish brew that occasionally fizzles, striving for Hitchcock-adjacent atmospheric jolts, but hamstrung…
