I'm looking for more shows like Lost and Severance. Shows in which you never truly feel like you know fully what is going on, where details are explained during the entire run. I like shows that make you pay attention to every detail, including set pieces, for clues. Shows with an internal mythology (Darma, Lumon, etc.) are a plus. I'm not opposed to any particular genre (sci-fi, fantasy, animated, etc.).

Any suggestions?

PS: for your troubles

Dark on Netflix is probably more like lost but i found it too much

I consider Lost, Severance and The Leftovers the same type of genre to me - my favorite genre. Others may see it differently, but I would suggest The Leftovers if you enjoy weird and mysterious.

It’s not to the level of the other 2 but I’d say Silo fits that bill

Season 1 was very good imo first half of season 2 is very slow but the last few episodes pick up very well.

Have you watched black mirror or the leftovers?

I also really liked Paradise on Hulu. It leaves you in suspense and you don’t know a lot of the storyline.

I think that's kind of the reason for why these shows are so popular. They're unique.

Westworld originally is from the 70’s.

The Prisoner - from the 1960’s might be a good candidate.

Battlestar Galactica reboot is very similar in theme and style to Lost. Both made around the same time.

The first few seasons of Once Upon a Time are fun. Lots of crossover from Lost cast and same creative team.

Mr. Bluestem has gotten me into Rick & Morty (animated).

The Good Place has some twists and turns and is funny as hell.

Echoing support for Dark, Silo, and From. Dark might be the best show I've ever seen.

1899 on Netflix is great and had GOAT potential...the canceled after one season but it's absolutely worth the watch. I'd recommend Fringe as well.
