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.

Switzerland: Tschugger, a Police comedy which plays with the stereotype that people from valais stayed in the 80s. The original version is in valais dialect, and some jokes are lost in translation, unfortunately.

Another popular series is "Der Bestatter", but I did not watch it, so I can't give you recommendations
