7 Quirky Must Watch TV Series

It is difficult to watch anything with hundreds of original shows coming out a year. Unfortunately, this suggests that unsung masterpieces eventually slip to the side of the road as the crowds fret about the world's Game of Thrones, etc. And though it's completely tempting just to get on the famous show bandwagon or re-watch your go-to comfort binge on a loop, branching out and offering a shot to those lesser-known shows out there is worth it.

The Umbrella Academy

43 babies were inexplicably delivered on one day in 1989 to unknown, unrelated mothers who displayed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven is adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist, who establishes the Umbrella Academy and trains his "children" to save the world. The family splits and the unit disbands in their teenage years, however. Quick forward to the present day, as on the news of Hargreeves' death, the six remaining members of the clan reunite.

Barry

When searching for his target, Barry, who kills to make a living, finds the pleasure of acting. Surprisingly, he's so fond of it that he's ready to put behind his old existence.

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks was a show like no other, produced inside David Lynch's warped mind, because of its eccentric meshing of psychological suspense and dark humor. (For example, to the point of hysterical giggles, the villainous entity BOB is disturbing.) But things start off with a mystery involving a young person in a strange small town, and as they attempt to crack the crime, local law enforcement and a dapper federal agent pursue.

Crazy Head

BAFTA-award recipient, Howard Overman, and stars Cara Theobold and Susan Wokoma in the lead roles have written and produced Crazyhead '. The plot follows Amy and Raquel's closest friends, who have bonded with the supernatural over their affairs. As they wander the planet trying to resolve their unfinished business, Amy's abilities cause her to see ghouls. Although Raquel is a self-made demon hunter armed with the knowledge of Wikipedia and weapons obtained from eBay. The pair set about exorcising ghosts and coping with the normalities of life in their early twenties by establishing a toxic relationship.

Schitt’s Creek

The Rose family is losing their fortune, causing them to give up their affluent lifestyle and start from scratch again. Almost all of their material belongings are confiscated by the government, save for a single asset they are permitted to keep: they once bought a town called Schitt's Creek as a joke.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

In hopes of winning her old boyfriend back, Rebecca Bunch, a wealthy young woman, impulsively gives up her New York life and moves to California.

BoJack Horseman

Missing in a vortex of self-loathing and booze, a humanoid horse, BoJack Horseman, thinks it's time for a return. He was once the star of a sitcom in the '90s, where he was the adoptive parent of three orphaned children (two girls and a boy). The show was the hottest thing imaginable, and then it was abruptly cancelled. Eighteen years later, BoJack now tries to restore his dignity. He sets out to make things happen with the assistance of a human sidekick and a feline former partner who is his agent. But Hollywood varies dramatically from those days, and it may take some time to get used to things like Twitter.
