After accidentally maiming a drug dealer in a transaction gone wrong, Harold must use his trusty purple crayon to flee from the gang chasing after him hoping to get revenge. But how much of Harold's crayon-infused world is real and how much is merely a hallucination stemming from years of drug abuse? Can Harold ever truly feel safe when he can not even be sure that his own mind is trustworthy?

But when this government militia proves itself willing to do anything to keep Turtle and her 15 confidants from uncovering the truth about Westing, the mansion where they have all been brought to live becomes anything but a safe haven.
5. Little House on the Prairie
Set in a dystopian future, this series imagines a world in which all major cities must be evacuated because of an outbreak of poisonous gas.

What follows is a tale of a family in peril, fighting against unknown forces while attempting to come to terms with the harsh conditions of the abandoned prairie.
6. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
As if the Lewis Carroll's imagining of Wonderland weren't trippy enough, this new series reimagines Wonderland as the fever dream of an LSD-addled Alice.

But when her hallucinations become more and more violent, the audience must wonder if Alice has gone too far.

But when he stumbles across a pair of abandoned coonhounds one day, the three begin to form a bond that promises some sort of salvation for Billy. Old habits die hard, though. Can Billy and his canine companions break the cycle that has caused Billy so much struggle over the years, or will the systemic inequalities that have led to Billy's troubled existence continue to exercise their power over him?
