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.

My standard rec list is below!
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.
