Culture, and television in particularly in Europe has been quite America-dominated for a while. I'd love to hear what's good from your home countries. If I can make a request, give a short description of the shows that you are recommending, try to sell it a bit, and don't just post the titles. Particularly, I'd recommend:

Matador (Danish, 1978)

This is the best TV series in the history of Denmark, possibly the world. Set in a small fictional town, it takes place in the years 1929-1947, and the changes Danish society goes through at the time. While this is interesting, the real strength is the fantastic characterization, with the show starring pretty much all famous Danish actors of the era, doing their best work.

Whiskey on the Rocks (Swedish, 2025)

A Swedish satirical series about the Whiskey on the Rocks incident of 1981, where a Soviet Whiskey-class nuclear submarine ran aground in Karlskrona. It got a lot of criticism for depicting the Soviet Union as lovable drunken buffoons instead of brutal imperialists, but I found it pretty funny regardless.

Braunschlag (Austria, 2011)

Another comedy. The mayor of the upper Austrian village of Braunschlag ran the town bankruptcy. In order to get some money flowing back into the town, he decides to fake a Marian apparition. The series is generally very Austrian, but fantastic if you like that sort of thing.

All of these are very high quality, well witten series I watched. A lot of stuff from UK, for some reason

  • "Capitani" crime series on Luxemburg well written, quite dark

  • Hinterland: crime series in ~~galles~~ Wales

  • Briadchurch: this is top notch, in England

  • Sherlock Holmes (2010 or so) wow, this eas fantastic, all the seasons. A lot of mistery, logic, suspense

  • Luther. Another crime, very well written

  • Dark : top notch sci-fi time paradix series, coherent, surprising. Strongly siggested

The English word for โ€œGallesโ€ is โ€œWalesโ€

Hinterland is in Welsh not Gallic.

"Galles" is the Italian name of "Wales", but somehow I forgot it... Now I corrected the post โ˜บ๏ธ
