I have a bad radar for what is "Well known" so we'll see how this goes...

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was weird, wonderful, and deeply touching. Great performance from Elijah Wood.

Maniac is by the director of True Detective, and its a fucking surreal (literal) drug trip of a show that earns a high spot on the "Holy shit, Jonah Hill is a great actor?!" list.

SAS: Rogue Heroes is a bonkers fun historical drama that feels like a Guy Ritchie movie, and yet is somehow often understating the insanity of the real events. By the creators of Peaky Blinders.

Too Old To Die Young is a collaboration between legendary director Nicholas Winding Refn (Driver, Only God Forgives, Neon Demon, Valhalla Rising) and legendary comics writer Ed Brubaker (Daredevil, Captain America, Sleeper, Criminal). You either have no idea why you should give a fuck about that, or you desperately need to go change your pants right now and are seriously worried that the erection is going to last more than four hours. If you're the latter person, yes, it's everything you're hoping; unbelievably slow paced, weird, dark, contemplative, surreal, and brutally violent. This is NWR in full bore "They gave me too much budget and too much runtime and by God I intend to abuse the fuck out of both" mode. Watch it while high.
