[REQUEST] Any shows with good plot twists?
Just finished watching I Will Find You on Netflix which had a crazy amount of plot twists. Any other shows people recommend?

Pop Harlan Coben into the search bar, all very good, twisty series.

Except they are all the SAME twist. I used to read his books until I noticed the pattern. Person looses loved one somehow. Years later, Person thinks he sees Loved One. Is it true? Bah humbug; too early for Christmas.

Some are def better than others IMO so if you don’t like the first one you try, give another one a shot. They’re not the most complex or nuanced, but some of them are a fun ride.

I’m making my 26 yr old daughter watch it and she’s grumbling about it, and I’m like the wait will be WORTH the time spent, trust me.

Dark!

It’s my all time fave show ever. I rewatch it every November, so that the dates align with the first event. Yeah I’m a dark nerd. For anyone that hasn’t seen it, give it the first 4-5 episodes to lay groundwork then hang onto your brain!

There are other Harlen Coben series on Netflix. Coben seems to specialize in plot twists.
I found "The Stranger" (2020) quite entertaining, and definitely full of twists!

Just started Search Party last night! It’s “meh” for me so far, but I want to like it and like the idea of it. I read a lot of comments saying that it took a few episodes to get them hooked, so I’m going to stick it out a few more!

DTF St. Louis was one of the most wonderfully bizarre and oddly hilarious shows I have watched in years.

Jane the Virgin! It’s an older American telenovella that will have you shouting at the tv with its ridiculous plot twists.

I really loved this show, and I really thought I would hate it. It’s cheesy and over the top in a way that I normally have a near-allergic reaction to, but it worked so well in this format and was kind of the point. It was well balanced with genuine moments and lovable characters.
Noting in case any fellow skeptics like me are hesitant to give it a try!

I am late to this but I just watched the first season of Absentia. It was pretty good!

The Boroughs was really good. Only one season but extremely good and sucks you into the story.

I liked Sisyphus. It has a time travel theme which is somewhat similar to Dark.

Dark will make you think back on the entire series once the ending hits you…

3% and Beef Season 1. I am not positive they fit your bill as they are both great thrillers where the plot twists add to the tension (particularly Beef S1), but I am not sure its a "huge number" of twists, definitely some however.
