One user posted a question about the “weirdest” shows ever made, saying they’d love to find more. They wrote: “I loved Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency and Legion and I think they are the weirdest shows I’ve ever gotten into. What are some other ones that I can get lost into? I’d like ones that people actually enjoy and think are good, not just weird for the sake of being weird.”
The thread garnered hundreds of replies, with users sharing their most beloved “weirdest” shows. One user described Future Man as “pretty weird” while others went for Twin Peaks, Maniac, Mrs. Davis and The Curse. Others went for the more recent Dead Boy Detectives, which was cancelled on Netflix last month.

Meanwhile, back in April, Kyle MacLachlan shared a list of 10 films that he thinks would be his Twin Peaks character Dale Cooper’s favourites.
MacLachlan played the FBI agent Cooper in David Lynch’s cult show Twin Peaks in its initial run in 1990 and 1991, its 1992 spin-off film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and its 2017 revival, Twin Peaks: The Return.
The eccentric investigator is assigned to the town of Twin Peaks in the show to look into the brutal murder of the high school student Laura Palmer, although he is often more interested in the quality of the coffee and a good cherry pie than anything else.
Now, in a post on the film social networking site Letterboxd, MacLachlan has posted a list of films that he has described as “Dale Cooper’s picks”. The list includes the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic Rear Window, the subversive 1977 Italian horror film Suspiria and the satirical 1979 Peter Sellers comedy-drama Being There.
It also includes a couple of noir classics – 1944’s Laura and Double Indemnity – as well as Ingmar Bergman’s arthouse gem Persona, the James Stewart courtroom drama Anatomy of a Murder and the 1981 comedy Waitress! You can view the full list here.
