- CreatorBryan FullerMichael GreenStarsRicky WhittleEmily BrowningYetide BadakiA recently released ex-convict named Shadow meets a mysterious man who calls himself "Wednesday" and who knows more than he first seems to about Shadow's life and past.Not quirky. More trippy/hallucinogenic

- CreatorGrant MorrisonBrian TaylorStarsChristopher MeloniRitchie CosterLili MirojnickAn injured hitman befriends his kidnapped daughter's imaginary friend; a perky blue flying unicorn.Interesting juxtapositions. Starts out weird/different and increasingly becomes fcked up. Season 2 is downright bizarre. This show is insane, nonsensical, brilliant and disturbing. I would even give it a 9/10 but I wasn't too happy with the ending and how some of season 2 unfolded. Great show all the same.
- CreatorBrian McGreevyLee ShipmanStarsFamke JanssenBill SkarsgårdLandon LiboironSecrets are just part of daily life in the small Pennsylvania town of Hemlock Grove, where the darkest evils hide in plain sight.Not quirky or bizarre. Just fcked up and amoral.
Incestuous sibling.
A weird and possibly incestuous dynamic with the mom and son. Not from the son though. He hated her. He once kissed her and ripped out her tongue when she was trying to manipulate him.
A manipulative and selfish mother who would exploit and cannibalize her own children to save her life when she got an upir (vampire) virus. Tried to kill each 3 children to take their bodies for herself despite living a very long life. Centuries old.
Robbed her deformed daughter of a chance at a normal life by killing and devouring her clone body to slow her disease. Tried to take over the clone body first but the doctor, who cared for her daughter, uploaded her daughter's consciousness into it. Unsuccessful.
Tried to forcefully take over her son's body. Unsuccessful.
Tried to forcefully take over her long lost older daughter's body. Threatened/blackmailed the doctor to do it. Made him lock her in a room. Her daughter looked around and saw a means to kill herself by setting herself on fire in the room. Unsuccessful.
As a last resort, tried to take over her deformed younger daughter's body by preying on her depression which was triggered by her mother robbing her of normalcy by devouring her clone body. Her daughter became suicidal and rather than help as a mother, she saw that as a means to take her body. As the doctor's attempts to discourage the suicidal daughter from doing it failed, he slyly played a video of her mother killing her favourite uncle. The mom had lied to her about his disappearance. Seeing the video infuriated her and she lashed out at her mom, calling her the real monster of the two and left.
Running out of time, the mom dies. - CreatorSteve BlackmanJeremy SlaterStarsAidan GallagherElliot PageTom HopperA family of former child heroes, now grown apart, must reunite to continue to protect the world.Not much quirkiness. Just sprinkles, quirky extra LITE. E.g:
-human cube? One of the sparrow members is literally a talking cube with its own weird language understood by the others.
-talking goldfish boss, A.J. Carmichael, @ the Temps Commission. He lived in a fish tank which doubled as the "head" of his humanoid robot body.
-assassins in cartoon masks - DirectorJamie BabbitStarsSeth MacFarlaneAdrianne PalickiPenny Johnson JeraldWhile the crew attempts to mediate a peace treaty between two warring cultures, tensions rise between Ed and Kelly when a familiar face comes aboard.Inter-species intimate encounters (e.g. human and gelatinous alien species, wtf?!) caused by an alien's pheromones.
- DirectorKelly CroninStarsSeth MacFarlaneAdrianne PalickiPenny Johnson JeraldThe Orville gets damaged by a spatial anomaly causing harrowing effects to all living things.Gorgeous 2D world/civilization.

with potions that change race or gender - CreatorEmma MoranStarsMáiréad TyersSofia OxenhamBilal HasnaJen is a self-aware young woman who lives in a world where everybody except her has a superpower.
- CreatorJohn RogersStarsRebecca RomijnChristian KaneLindy BoothA group of librarians set off on adventures in an effort to save mysterious, ancient artifacts.Hard to watch and NOT entertaining (boring, tedious and super cheesy. Was very generous with my rating) but definitely has quirky moments like the episode where everyone in a town, including babies, become old/senior citizens. Or another Ep where librarians disappear into a movie screen and have to play out the narrative. Etc.
- CreatorNoah HawleyStarsDan StevensRachel KellerAubrey PlazaDavid Haller is a troubled young man diagnosed as schizophrenic, but after a strange encounter he discovers special powers that will change his life forever.A generous 5/10 rating. Could easily be a 4/10. Quirky and different. Cool and original idea but sadly, the progression and writing is mostly dull and tedious. Only a few mildly entertaining episodes with many filler-vibe episodes that weren't filler episodes just boring execution.
Mutants with various abilities, time travel, etc.
