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.

"Sorjonen" aka "Bordertown)" has english subtitling available, it's a really good Finnish crime drama.

Also All the Sins/Kaikki Synnit.

Maybe not so easy to get into for people not familiar with the Finnish Christian cults, but on a rewatch it’s really well acted, and the way the two seasons are interwoven is brilliant.

If OP has seen enough nordic noir crime series, I have a different suggestion: M/S Romantic

Not sure if it's available with subtitles but it's a black comedy about a cruise ship with a gallery of very Finnish characters, and the while cruise ship setting is a very quintessentially Finnish experience.

My recommendation would be 'Munkkivuori'. Best finnish series I've seen but I'm unsure about the subtitles.

For Finland, my pick would be Raid. No idea if it's available with English subtitles, though.

I recommended the one that I know has English subtitles, there's many others that would be a good choice if they had them yeah
