Lost had one of the absolute best pilot episodes I’ve ever seen, just completely hooked from the first 5 minutes. It got weird at the end, but the first several seasons were top notch. Lost was the first water cooler show I can remember. The day after a new EP aired, that’s all me and my coworkers would talk about.

Deadwood is top 5 TV, definitely definitely worth your time. It’s VERY vulgar language wise, but phenomenal show.

May I also recommend The Americans if you haven’t seen it? My favorite show ever (not THE best show ever, but my fave). So so good.

The Americans has been on my list for years, near the top. I just haven’t had the time to binge watch shows as much until this past year.

I’ve heard nothing but phenomenal things about it.

May have to give that a watch

I think The Americans is a lot closer to what you’re looking for than Lost. You might also like Mr. Robot or Justified. If you enjoyed the weirdness of The Leftovers, check out Legion.

I’m thinking the Americans is what I’m going to start. Been at the top of my list for a while and I could use a slow burn drama.

Oh, I’m so, so jealous! I would love to be able to watch it again for the first time! Feel free to report back your thoughts!

The Americans is a masterpiece with 10/10 series finale.

Lost is entertaining. I recommend it if you liked The Leftovers.

Man lost is so much better than the Americans so are all the other shows on this list. The Americans is the low bar of good tv. See you down below.
