5 Mind-Bending Miniseries to Watch After Station Eleven
Shows that hit you right in the feels.
HBO's Station Eleven is one of those shows that will chew you up and spit you out, but you'll love it. The series follows a traveling group of flu pandemic survivors who encounter a violent cult in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. And fans can't get enough of it.
The show's biggest flaw seems to be that its emotional rollercoaster of a ride is only one season long, and it leaves viewers yearning for more of these mind-bending experiences.
Fortunately, similar shows do exist. Here are five limited series that any Station Eleven fan will love, according to viewers on Reddit.
I Know This Much Is True (2020)
Mark Ruffalo knocks it out of the park as he plays identical twins living in the early 1990s, one of whom suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and the other has to take care of him.
Like Station Eleven, this show is guaranteed to rip your heart out and become one of your favorites. Every scene is oozing with emotion, and the character arcs are so well written that you can't help but develop a strong attachment to the brothers.

Tales from the Loop (2020)
Based on the paintings of Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag, each episode of the show follows the interconnected lives of the residents of the fictional town of Mercer, Ohio, as they are affected by the technological inventions of the local experimental physics center. A deeply moving watch.
The Third Day (2020)
This surprising and experimental show consists of two separate but connected stories about a man (Jude Law) and a woman (Katherine Waterston) who arrive on a mysterious island and encounter a local cult.

Wakefield (2021)
This Australian psychological mystery focuses on the staff and patients of Ward C of a psychiatric hospital. Fans say the series is severely underrated and deserves much more attention and praise from audiences worldwide. Wakefield is a perfect mix of funny, sad and heavy moments wrapped in beautiful cinematography.
Beef (2023)
Director Lee Sung Jin's Netflix dramedy follows two strangers who get into a road rage incident and continue the feud long afterward. The show, which is on many viewers' top lists, realistically depicts all kinds of traumas resulting from love and family ties, feeling lonely and empty inside, and suppressed rage. It will surprise you every step of the way.
