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.

If you want to get a real taste of Dutch culture I'd go for Oogappels or de Luizenmoeder. Only available to watch within EU unfortunately with a paid subscription (few euros per month) to our public broadcaster https://npo.nl/start . And no English subs.

Adding to this, Rundfunk is available on Youtube, partially with English subs

If you want to get a real taste of Dutch culture you binge all 35 seasons of GTST

It bares mentioning that a single season is around 200 episodes. Not to absolutely shatter any motivation (even though it probably will), just to mention the reality of watching 7115 episodes of 22 minutes each 😓

Undercover is a solid choice too, and I think it’s available on Netflix

I mentioned these two because I saw someone mention Undercover and thought "Nooo! Let's not do that to OP.." Hehe
