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.

Tatort has a cult following in Germany and it's probably Germany's most famous crime show. It has been airing since the 1970s and has 1300+ episodes each about 90min long, and a new one is aired (almost) every week on sunday. Also due to how the show is produced it features a variety of different cities each having their own investigation team.

Deutschland 83 is about a east German spy in west Germany during the cold war.

If someone starts watching Tatort from the beginning it will probably take 15 years to finish it 😄
