Since the last episode of this season is behind us, I am looking for some recommendations on what to watch to fill this void. Hopefully this thread won't be considered off-topic. I mostly lurk so I'm sorry if this does not fit the magazine.

I'm using word "similar" pretty loosely here - in general I like mysterious shows, not necessarily horrors or gore (but not excluding those).

It's probably nothing new, but just in case you haven't watched it yet, I'd like to recommend "Dark" (imho best to watch in original German audio and English subtitles).
I also love "1899" but it got cancelled after 1st season :( The show is complex and not without flaws, but I think it's interesting, entertaining, has great soundtrack, visuals, and production value. I think it still might be worth seeing as a curiosity but keeping in mind there won't be a resolution.
My absolute fave is "Severance" (on Apple TV+). Just a fantastic show that completely defies any expectations and has an incredibly tense and well put together finale of season 1. Can't wait for the next season.
Season 1 of "The Haunting of Hill House" is also great, season 2 is a bit worse in my opinion (it's like an anthology series so they are not really connected with plot) but still worth seeing.
I tried to get into "Silo" recently, but it wasn't a success for me, something about the pacing seems off. I will try to give it another chance at some point though.

Add Yellowjackets onto the list! Second season just finished couple weeks ago.

Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, "Yellowjackets" is the saga of a team of wildly-talented high-school-girl soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

Thanks, I forgot about it! I think I watched an episode or two of season 1 long time ago, I should revisit it. I don't know exactly how to say this but Yellowjackets is raw and absolutely uncompromising. Savage almost 😂 It's an interesting watch but not an easy one to binge for me for some reason. But definitely a quality show. I love Melanie Lynskey and everything she's in.
