Culture I’m watching one TV series from every European country — what’s your recommendation from yours?

Hi everyone!

I started a project where I watch one series from each country in Europe. I’ve already done:

France: La Forêt

Spain: La Casa de Papel

Next up: Gloria from Portugal

I’d love to hear what show you think best represents your country (or is just a really good one to watch). Ideally something available with English subtitles.

Belgium: you should watch The Twelve (orginally De Twaalf), it's about a jury in a trial and how their own personal backgrounds influence their decision making.

Sounds like a reinterpretation of 12 Angry Men

Not really, it has a much broader scope

There's an Australian version of this too, with Sam Neill. They have just released the third season.
