Collider recommends ten TV shows for fans of Bugonia. The article describes Bugonia as the latest box office and critical wonder from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons; it calls the film a black comedy and a remake of the South Korean Save the Green Planet!

by Jang Joon-hwan, and notes that Jang was meant to direct the remake before Lanthimos stepped in and gave the movie his own signature flavor. Bugonia follows conspiracy theorist Teddy Getz (Plemons) and his cousin Don (Aidan Delbis), who kidnap wealthy pharmaceutical CEO Michelle Fuller (Stone) because Teddy believes Michelle is an alien in human disguise who's come to conquer Earth.

The recommended shows span dark comedy, satire and conspiracy thrillers and include Squid Game, Barry, The White Lotus, Inside No. 9, Mr. Inbetween, Common Side Effects, Pluribus, Beef, Atlanta and Fargo. The piece highlights overlaps such as The White Lotus's "eat the rich" vibe, Common Side Effects's conspiracy focus, Pluribus's alien premise and lead Rhea Seehorn, and Fargo's similar offbeat thriller elements (it also notes Jesse Plemons appears in Fargo).
