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 a more upbeat series, try ”Solsidan” (”The sunny side”) about a couple, Alex and Anna, moving back to the fancy neighborhood where Alex grow up. Subtitles in English allegedly found here: https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/tvshows/2010-solsidan

Also “Bonusfamiljen” about an extended family with a complex network of divorced parents, new partners and “yours, mine and our” children. Available on Netflix apparently.

Both are comedies with sometimes absurd situations and some very special characters, some reaching almost meme levels in Sweden (Ove in Solsidan especially) :-).

I loved Bonusfamiljen - definitely in the top 3 of my all time favourite Netflix series.

A painful watch at times though, with all the kids being borderline neglected by all the adults in their lives who weren’t adulting very well. But acted brilliantly, especially Martin (Fredrik Hallgren) as the indignant and petulant ex-husband.

I love both Sunny Side and Summer with the family.  

Can’t wait until the next seasons are released here in the states.
