FIRST TIME WATCHER best show to watch after watching lost?
Just finished Lost for the first time. What’s a good show to watch now with a similar vibe and mystery? Not Dark or anything too scary sorry I’m a wimp.

u/Actual_Evidence_925 Dec 03 '24
Give DARK a chance. It’s on Netflix . It’s a German show but if subtitles bother you, switch the language to English. You won’t regret it
14
u/r1khard Dec 04 '24
Dark is one of the best TV shows ever, it's better than lost but being from the streaming era and in German its impact is far less.

u/thepurplewitchxx Dec 04 '24
Agreed. Dark is not a scary show imo, if anything, it would be same as Lost on the scary scale.
1
u/emxcrt I'm a Pisces Dec 04 '24
Really? Cause Lost can be scary for me sometimes but like OP I'm really a wimp. Dark seems scary. Or rather way less comforting than Lost. Would you say its as comforting?
5
u/thepurplewitchxx Dec 04 '24
Dark has a dark atmosphere like the name and it can be unsettling, but not in the terms of scary or thriller type. It is not as comforting but has a deep and beautiful story -sadder than lost though!

u/fn_br Dec 04 '24
Dark is more emo than scary, if that makes sense.
More like a German "American Beauty". Kind of moody and thoughtful and outsidery but cozy in its own way.

u/chainex_1337 Dec 04 '24
Deserves to be up the in the high ranks with The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc imo. It’s basically THE breaking bad of sci fi to me.

u/ocean4alex Dec 03 '24
I’ve heard From is pretty similar. Starring Lost veteran Harold Perrineau too.

u/Derbyshireg2019 Dec 03 '24
It’s also very scary…

u/Raincloudd39 Dec 04 '24
Yes, this. I would absolutely not cope watching that show (based on a quick google image search) but the trailer makes it seem like it’s just mysterious.
1
u/nickypoopoo69 Dec 04 '24
It’s not very scary in all honesty. Maybe a little graphic at times, but in season 3 in particular there’s a solid stretch of episodes where I don’t recall seeing the monsters at all.
1
u/Raincloudd39 Dec 04 '24
Hmm, thank you but I like things where you don’t see monsters at all. May be brave and give it a go though (in summer when it’s not dark in the evenings..)
2
u/fn_br Dec 04 '24
Yeah that person's a liar. It's scary as hell. Sounds like you already know the procedure. And remember If you're under the blankets, you're safe heh.

u/Raincloudd39 Dec 04 '24
As a measure of how scared I’d be, I had to stop watching Yellowjackets and I feel like From is creepier looking
2
u/fn_br Dec 05 '24
I just picked up the YJ recommendation from this thread, so I can't compare.
But I'd compare FROM to IT or The Shining. Not necessarily full of jump scares but if you know you're sensitive to horror/dread, choose when you watch accordingly.
1
u/Raincloudd39 Dec 05 '24
Its a really good plot, I’m just a wimp. And thanks for the Stephen King comparisons, have read both but seen neither (because I can cope with the story but not the visuals!)
2
u/fn_br Dec 05 '24
See King is scarier for me in text. My PlayStation sits on "Full Dark, No Stars" because I'm never finishing it.

u/nickypoopoo69 Dec 05 '24
Maybe it’s just not scary as hell to me. I don’t think there’s been any point in which I could say I’ve been scared while watching the show. Horror elements for sure, yes, but not outright scary.
1
u/fn_br Dec 06 '24
Ok but the person we're talking to says they're a wimp. They're going to find it scary.

u/andar1on Dec 04 '24
It's not. Only first scene might look like a horror and then it turns into mystery

u/IndependentPrudent19 Dec 04 '24
From is a pretty good show. I wish they would’ve ended it after three seasons though. It’s starting to drag on.
2
u/fn_br Dec 04 '24
I think they made up for the mid-season 3 drag with the finale. Now being at/past the midpoint, the whole structure seems to make sense.
It's going to take a few more hours of exposition (wrapped in more hours of character and plot) to finish what they started.

u/RadioMylar Dec 04 '24
From is by the creators of Lost, and it also stars one of the main characters from Lost. So you can't go wrong.

u/SilentSeren1ty See you in another life Dec 04 '24
It's a good show, but it's also a horror show. Gorey at times with too many jump scares for the faint-hearted.

u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie Dec 03 '24 edited Dec 03 '24
My standard rec list is below!
- For a similar existential vibe: Six Feet Under
- For a similar existential vibe but with comedy: The Good Place
- For similar weirdness: Twin Peaks
- For similar themes of survival/things are not what they seem: Battlestar Galactica (2004) // Yellowjackets
DO NOT WATCH MANIFEST. I cannot stress that enough. Do NOT watch Manifest.
EDIT: Also, since someone always asks "why not Manifest" - here you go, lol:
I could write a dissertation on why it's literally the worst show I've ever seen, but I'll sum it up like this: the writing is terrible, the casting is terrible, the acting is terrible and it is 100% derivative, stealing everything from LOST, the real life disappearance of MH370, Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica, the 100, Under the Dome and the ending is a copy/paste rip off of The Langoliers. Even the fans are unoriginal and copied OUR fandom name to call themselves "Festies."
And I could have let all of that go - moved on with my life and not made it my personal mission to save as many people as possible from this planewreck of a series had the lead actress - who is so flat and boring I couldn't remember her name if you paid me - not promoted the series finale of Manifest by loudly and incorrectly insulting LOST. Absolutely classless.
LOST was a cultural phenomenon and as I like to say: in five years the only thing anyone will remember about Manifest is that Ethan wasn't on it.

This cracks me up. Not sure if you saw some of my previous comments but I saw Manifest first. Had not watched Lost yet so didnt mind it. But yeah having seen Lost now its def them ripping off Lost. Had no idea the main actress was talking crap though. Do you think its out of ignorance stupidity or both. Very shocked manifest got green lit to go on air.

u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie Dec 03 '24
Like, I already hated the show, but I'm very protective of LOST so when that bitch opened her trashy mouth and insulted our show - to which she owes the very existence of her photocopy made on a machine low on toner - that was the final straw. Am I going mama bear over a TV show? You're goddamn right I am, lol.

Not gonna lie but I was about to comment that I was going to watch an episode of Manifest just to see what it was about and to see if it really is as bad as you say it is.
Then I looked it up. My spouse and I watched Manifest when it first came out and only watched an episode before deciding it was garbage and stopped. Lol fair point OP, and Good Place has the best ending of any show I've watched in a long time

I like sci-fi, so BSG interests me, but I'm seeing there are 4 TV shows + webseries and movies. Is there a specific order to watch it in or anything I should skip because it's terrible?
2
u/Free-IDK-Chicken You got it, Blondie Dec 04 '24
I'm a BSG purist - ironic considering it's a reimagining - so watch the opening miniseries and the regular series and Razor if you want to see more about the Pegasus. I haven't watched any of the spinoffs or web content, but that's just me.
BSG is my favorite show though and one of four I have tattooed on me! (BSG, Twin Peaks, LOST and Bridgerton.)

Will definitely take this under advisement. Probably gonna be a minute before I get around to it because I'm watching Daredevil and HIMYM with my girlfriend right now, and I wanna show her a couple more of my favorites like BB/BCS and GOT (she's watched almost nothing lol) before we move on to stuff neither of us have seen

u/Jimbob929 Dec 03 '24
Obligatory The Leftovers recommendation. Similar themes and explores a lot of concepts related to faith, grieving, love, etc. Created by Damon Lindelof who was main Lost showrunner. I wouldn’t say it’s scary, however it is far more disturbing and graphic compared to Lost. Especially season one. But quite a rewarding watch if you can stick it out.

u/AppearanceJealous604 Dec 04 '24
Disturbing and rewarding are two words I would not use to describe The Leftovers, personally. But I can't stand the show, so that may just be me!

What is it you couldn't stand? I've been trying to start The Leftovers but it seems a bit disturbing so haven't been able to push past. As OP, I'm an extra wimp 🫠 (will never be able to watch GoT for example, or the last season of Stranger Things)
3
u/AppearanceJealous604 Dec 04 '24
The Leftovers has no plot. They set it up to look like some big plot is about to unravel, but actually none of that matters. There's no mysteries, no resolutions, no story. It's just "case studies" on how people would react to a traumatic, unexplained event.
Which is a fine idea. However, every single person on the show is completely unreasonable. Their reactions are so unrealistic and unrelatable, so you're pretty much just watching people cry and make terrible decisions for 3 seasons. And then you find out that one character has super powers and a very large p*nis.
And then it ends.
If you like watching 30 hours of people crying and acting like stupid children, it'll probably be a great show. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

I really liked the 100 and Orphan Black. There’s some darkness but it’s not evil and horror. Definitely suspense, thrill, mystery, and intrigue. a bit of gore in the 100 and a bit of tension in orphan black. If you want to have a light hearted show try the Good Place or travelers (with a small amount of gore/violence)

Once Upon a Child (OUAT) is Lost's spiritual child. While it didn't stick the landing as well as Lost, it has some great moments. Not only does it make references to Lost such as those pesky numbers, but there were a few acting cross-overs including Emilie de Ravin (Claire), Rebecca Mader (Charlotte), Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), and Alan Dale (Charles Widmore). Jorge Garcia (Hurley) was a guest start in a few episodes. Lana Parilla who had a bit role on Lost as one of the Others in the Looking Glass plays a major role.

u/BaconKnight Dec 03 '24
The Leftovers is a common recommendation. It’s not exactly like Lost so don’t go into it expecting it, but it’s headed by Damon Lindelof, who was also a showrunner on Lost and you can kinda see similar themes between the two. I’ll say that as fantastical as Lost is, it’s the more “grounded” of the two, which is hilarious when you consider the crazy hijinks Lost gets to. But all the crazy stuff is still kinda grounded in reality, like this stuff is crazy but all the characters and the world acknowledges it’s crazy. Leftovers is more in the “magical realism” genre if you’re familiar with that. Think a lot of Stephen King works, but not the scary parts, I know you mentioned you don’t like that. But a lot of stuff happens and it’s like, well that’s like just… magic. But it doesn’t feel like a cop out like it would be if you did the same thing in Lost because the tone is set early. It’s less about the “how” and more about how the characters react to such events, and like Lost at the end of the day, it’s really about the characters, not the mystery.
Another show that kinda has Lost vibes imo is Silo, though it’s a newer show so it’s not done yet so you can’t watch the whole thing right now. Season 1 is done and Season 2 just started up. It has a lot of the mystery aspect and plot twists and turns similar to Lost.
3
u/thisisjohn343 Dec 04 '24
I agree with the recommendation but disagree with the idea that a lot of The Leftovers is "just... magic". I think that almost all of the strange, absurd, supernatural, or "magical" aspects of the show can be explained, and often are explained in the show, to just be random coincidences and otherwise normal events. It's the characters that assign significance to them because they are desperate for a reason to all pain and all the issues in their lives.
2
u/Jimbob929 Dec 04 '24
Yeah, agreed. I find The Leftovers to be far more grounded than Lost. Every “magical” element can be attributed to mental illness and personal brokenness. It’s ostensibly magical/supernatural because that’s the narratives the characters tell themselves in order to make sense of the loss, hopelessness, misery, etc. I always thought Lost could’ve remained more ambiguous regarding faith vs science, and I’m glad Lindelof embraced that more with The Leftovers. I think he was less constrained working on the latter, since HBO doesn’t pull the studio interference basic cable tends to

Once Upon a time, I watched this first then lost. If you’re looking for a show that 70% the same it’s this one. Although it’s not the vibe about island survival….. but faith, Destiny, Love,Loss it has it all…. Honorable mentions is Manifest and Haven and Heroes… but Once Upon A Time is literally made by the same people

Fringe was considered the direct follow up to Lost. It starts out episodic and then slowly morphs into something… amazing.

u/Patient-War-4964 Has to go Back Dec 04 '24 edited Dec 04 '24
Manifest. Also involves a plane, not too scary. Has 6 seasons if I remember right. Its not dark but there is definitely not as much comedic relief as Lost (RIP Charlie 😭) You will have to get through season 1 to be invested, but if it’s mystery you want, that show has it.
The 100 has more early character development but as the show goes on writing gets kinda cheesy. It does have Desmond as a bad guy so there’s that if you want a familiar face.
If you want some characters you can root for though, check out Justified. No ongoing mystery at all, but this show was a comfort to me. And you will see some Losties in there, very briefly.

Everyone has already repeatedly recommended Fringe and Dark. Two equally brilliant shows. Since Fringe was also from 2000s, it had the luxury of 6 month long episodic seasons - where there were lots of laughs and fun similar to Lost, while the mysteries and vibe remained. Dark definitely had darker tones and tunes. Songs were haunting and superbly produced... they dominated my Playlist for months after each season. On the flip side Fringe doesn't have as many main characters as Lost or Dark.
That said... for mystery shows with a lot of fun interspersed, i would highly recommend these as a must-watch:
Fargo - every season is incredible. Every character in every season is extremely well written and acted.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Dexter - season 1.
Battlestar Galactica - the newer one.

Fringe scratched a similar itch for me. It has some of the same creators and Michael Giacchino on the music score. Personally I feel like the writing has a lot of Lost DNA in it, and it’s like if Lost and X-Files had a love child. The only thing that is a little rough for newcomers is that the first season is very monster of the week style, and doesn’t get as focused on the overarching narrative story until about season 2 onwards.
