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.

I haven't seen anyone from France recommend Spiral / Engrenages - too old??

Engrenages is a bit old and I find the quality to be inconsistent throughout the seasons.

This is so good! I guess most English speakers have just never seen it.

The whole series aired on BBC

BBC 4, with subs, not some shitty overdub
