For example, The Americans being marketed as a cold-war era spy drama/thriller but actually being more of a character study or Buffy the Vampire Slayer being reduced to a cheesy teen drama but actually being full of metaphors.

Serial Experiments Lain and Ergo Proxy.

Both shows pretty much require a degree in psychology and philosophy to really get them. Or you can just watch a bunch of youtube analysis videos to break them down. But both shows left me utterly lost and confused on my first watch.
