16 Great Mystery-Box TV Shows Worth Getting Lost In

"You ever watch a show and wonder, Is there something more here? Of course you have. Some of the best television lingers in your mind and bleeds outside the bounds of the hour or half-hour you spend watching it. That's just what good art does."

"Mystery-box TV is less about genre and more about structure and ambiguity. Does the show invite viewers to actively piece together aspects of its plot, or speculate about the nature of the story its telling? Does it play with perception and perspective, asking you to pay close attention to the margins? That's a mystery box. It's a show you toy with as it toys with you."
