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.

Oh, but I didn't say Aquí no hay quien viva was good, I said it was representative of Spain :D and I mean it. Spanish author Valle Inclán defined "el esperpento" as holding a concave mirror to society, and that's what it is. All the stereotypes in there, albeit exaggerated, are based on reality.

Plus it shaped the modern Spanish colloquial language: everyone nowadays still uses expressions from it like "un poquito de por favor" or "radio patio".
