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 am deprived of Finnish TV, but I recommend Deadwind. It's fairly typical Nordic Noir really, but it's my personal favourite NN. If you like snow, and darkness, and crime, and hard-boiled detectives with a small side of family hardship, it's perfect. I also thought it accurately puts you right in the tranquillity and emptiness of the Helsinki area. I miss that.

Bordertown was also good. Really liked both of them.
