There are loads of drama TV shows and fantasy series you can watch. But often, the most engaging, the ones you can’t turn off and say “just one more” about at 3am, are the ones with a good mystery. And there are several brilliant mystery TV shows we recommend, from cult classics that landed in the 90s to the latest and greatest boxsets streaming right now.
A good mystery TV show will keep you guessing, with twists, turns and puzzles to solve – or at least try to solve. Whether it’s a whodunnit with dark comedy or a more strange and sci-fi-laden mystery, this list should have you covered.
Some TV shows, like The X-Files, throw a mystery your way and resolve it within each episode. Others have deep dark mysteries lurking throughout the series, like Yellowjackets and Dark. These shows bring edge-of-your-seat tension to every episode often with some of the most exciting (and at times frustrating) cliffhangers.
