Dreampunk on TV
My personal collection of reality-melting dreampunk series
The easiest way to answer the question “What is dreampunk?” is to throw out some good examples of the genre and let you see for yourself. Some of these feature a dreampunk premise and exemplify the genre the whole way through. Others vary by episode in their degree of dreampunkiness. This list is by no means complete, so please add your own examples in the comments.

Great list. There's a few here I need to see. Would love for you to watch The OA on Netflix and hear your thoughts!
