I second The Terror (never saw season 2 though). It was a slow burn horror for much of it, which I really appreciated. I liked the historical aspects and thought they conveyed the isolation well. I need to get around to reading the book at some point.
It's not exactly "unrecognized" because it's fairly popular, but From -- yes, that's the name, and yes, it makes it very difficult to search for.
It's pretty highly rated, horror/mystery show. It's a lot like Lost except more horror less mystery. It even stars Harold Perrineau who played Michael in Lost.
The concepts and monsters are very scary and/or creepy. It gives me a Dead by Daylight "The Entity" and "The Entity's Realm" vibe if you're familiar with the game.

If you like para-military actions I highly recommend Spec Ops: Lioness.
Lioness is a CIA program who recruits military women to infiltrate terrorist organizations and destroy it from within.
It's currently on its second season. Zoey Saldana is fantastic in the show.
Iβm gonna give it a second try
Most likely I'm too specific about it, but I see quite some shows mentioned that I'd not really consider underrated or unrecognised. Firefly is one of my all time favourites but not really underrated or unrecognised. Or Fringe, possibly not even From (of which I'll just say I very much hope they have an ending planned because I don't want it to end lost like Lost).
Perfect examples of underrated or unrecognised shows are Galavant and Utopia, mentioned by others, they are brilliant.
In a similar direction I'd say Dead Set, a UK show that really surprised me ages ago but never see mentioned. https://imdb.com/title/tt1285482/
Maybe I should include also Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, but that may be a lot less underrated and it's a minishow only.
I never actually watched dead set, but I remember it was airing at the same time I had a Media Studies project at school about zombies so the tutors kept bringing it up
A largely forgotten show from the late 90s called "Seven Days".
Absolutely loved that one!
Gary and his Demons is a great animated show that no one seems to have ever heard about
I really liked Profit, a mid-90s drama about corporate intrigue. It was ahead of its time and I think would have been a much bigger hit if it came out 20 years later! It was canceled after only 1 season.
There's a phenomenal French horror series on Netflix called Marianne that my wife and I enjoyed immensely. I don't usually shoot for that particular brand of horror (demon/ghost), but Marianne is fucking excellent. Can't recommend it enough.

I'm not sure if it's my "favorite", necessarily, but I couldn't think of anything else, and it is a good show, and, imo, rather unknown, but I'll share Wakfu (the French version (with subtitles if you don't speak French). I'd highly recommend not watching the dub β it isn't very good).
The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt
Not "unrecognized" in Russia, but Woids are missing out

Black Sails Occupied (Okkupert) Orphan Black
Growing up, I loved Tattooed Teenaged Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills. Now that Iβm old, itβs even better.
I don't know if it was actually under rated or unrecognized where it aired, but as someone who was trawling for TV to watch that you don't see in North America, I fucking love Monkey Dust out of the UK.
Dark comedy animated sketch show.
