Westworld - NOW/Sky 

Like Behind Her Eyes, Westworld is one of those shows where you just don't know if anyone is who they say or think they are. The series is based in a manmade theme park made to look and feel like the Wild West, with robots populating the park who are so realistic that even they - and the viewer - have no idea who is really human and who isn't.

Black Mirror - Netflix

This hit anthology show looks at different versions of the future, and how potential technology can change life drastically - but a major part of its success is the mysteries along the way - some of which packing a major punch. We would recommend White Bear, Shut Up and Dance and USS Callister for some jaw-dropping moments.
