Lost joins an island's mysteries to the concealed histories of its inhabitants. Under the Dome shares the experience of being trapped, while Twin Peaks uncovers secrets inside a familiar community. Other suggestions connect more loosely through a continuing search for hidden causes rather than a comparable survivor group.

Reviewed recommendations are ordered by their editorial fit. Weak matches are omitted. Other suggestions come from community recommendations and rating similarity. Editors may also add individual recommendations.
