Do you watch any T.V. Show that is totally weird?

I caught the latest episode of Leftovers.
So I watched, but it was totally weird.

It might be implying that Kevin is Jesus?
And some clue seems to say.....the dogs did it.



Better Call Saul is also weird.
I think it will take 20 seasons to find out how he gets to be Saul.

What else is so weird,but you watch anyway?

I had heard so much about Mr Robot decided to give it a try. I swear you had to be high to follow that show. Never a Christain Slater fan, and the other lead, Rami Malek would put you to sleep, in fact the whole story was putting me to sleep. Kept watching the 1st episode hoping it would come together, but NOPE. Someone must have liked it. I was one of the more critically acclaimed shows last year.

But I agree, Season 2 didn't make it for me. I even have the blu-ray, but...no interest in finishing it.

Legion, Taboo, Westworld, Sense8, Better Call Saul... and those are just fairly recent ones that come to mind. Also fan of GoT and Walking Dead. Probably also weird but have gone fairly mainstream in their popularity.

...I mean, there was this middle-aged couple, with the man who never seemed to have a job, the woman who seemed the perfect Mom but also seemed to be in a bit of a catatonic trance half the time...one of the sons was like Dad, just hanging around all the time, and utterly untalented. The other was this strange sort of singing idol, yet *he* seemed to spend all his time at home too, instead of touring or whatever the hell it is that teen idols do...there never seemed to be any groupies around him, or screaming fans, or indeed anything except some 30-year old "college students" who, for some reason, were the only friends this major singing star seemed to have. I sometimes wonder if this "family" was a trial run for The Truman Show...

I can almost hear it now. Ozzie says a line, *hahahaha*. Ricky replies, *hahahaha*, and so on. Just added to the weirdness.

The weirdest and funniest TV episode ever.

Seinfeld! It's also the episode that George finally makes good as... that's right, a hand model.

Here's a clip:



BTW, we get the "low talker" in the same episode. Two memes for the price of one!

...and its taking a very different turn from what it started out as...but at least its got some direction and some explanations. the last one with Carradine was totally useless. The weirdest program was 'HOME' on X Files.....

On Netflix. The premise is weird. What appears to be a fantastically wealthy guy solves crimes using his old factory senses. He appears to live in his own apartment building and his car is the only one in the garage, which has a private elevator right to his apartment. He drives what appears to be an American style sports car, probably a Dodge charger, but I'm not sure. That's weird enough. The other weird part is that it's a Ukrainian production in Russian with English subtitles. I'm hooked.

I also enjoy Gumball (Cartoon Network), which is VERY wacky and weird at times (and frequently hilarious).

I really liked it and it was very Coen Brother like i.e. Weird and dark comedy-ish.

the Leftovers has been weird since the Pilot. That's what makes it so good imo.
