Anyone who has ever seen "Russian Doll" knows why it's made this list. This funky TV series follows Nadia, expertly played by Natasha Lyonne, as she is caught in a time loop on her 36th birthday. The concept is strange by itself, but it's really Nadia who makes the series shine. Both season 1 and 2 were highly rated and praised. On Rotten Tomatoes, season 1 sits at 97% on the Tomatometer.

Following "Russian Doll," we have "The Midnight Gospel," a truly strange animated adult series. The colors used in the animation and vibrant and hard to look away from. "The Midnight Gospel" is a bit hard to explain. It follows a spacecaster named Clancy Gilroy as she travels to different planets, embarking on unique adventures.

So many supernatural things and creatures are featured in this series. You'll just have to watch it to really understand why it's so weird.

"Pushing Daisies" doesn't get enough love. This super funny, but also odd comedy series only ran for two seasons. It effortlessly blended fantasy, comedy, and mystery. The main character is a pie-maker with the ability to bring people back from the dead.

Taking it back to the 60s and 70s, we have the series, "Monty Python's Flying Circus." It's one of the funniest series ever made and still holds up decades later.

What would you do if you knew the world was ending? This is a tough question to ask and an even harder one to answer.

"The Twilight Zone" is arguably one of the best TV shows ever made – and it's also the weirdest. The series doesn't just follow one story, but instead multiple.
