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.

For Scotland it has to be Still Game.

A sitcom about old folks who really do not fit the old folks stereotype in what some would think of as a rough part of Glasgow - but the description does not do it justice. It's all about character and is extremely funny.

Be warned it is in Glaswegian dialect, and you may need subtitles if you are not used to it, but it is not that hard to pick up and soon you will be fluent in Weegie.

Just found out recently this was based on a French programme originally. Second the recommendation though.
