Line 6:
* ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' could be considered a mind screw. Alternately, it was just weird.
* Reality TV example: [[Criss Angel]]. Much like the name of the trope itself, it is also watered down version of the term best used to describe his feats.
* Every last damn thing about the ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' season 3 finale. "There's too much confusion", ''indeed''.
** The series finale of ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', FULL STOP.
* ''[[Lost]]''. They can fill the rest of this page with arguments back and forth about whether or not ''Lost'' is "really" that much of a Mind Screw, but, in all honesty, this trope is pretty much the show's whole reason for being. Either ''Lost'' ''is'' a Mind Screw, or else this either isn't a trope or ''Lost'' isn't a show. I'll leave it up to you to decide which. Like ''Lost'' does. Some examples from the show include its dream sequences and some particularly odd bits surrounding a cabin. One trippy episode was even set to be directed by [[Darren Aronofsky]].
* ''[[Life On Mars]]'', is weird as all get-out, especially the final episode but still straightforward. [[Word of God]] says {{spoiler|it was all in his head/he died}}. Individual interpretations may vary.
