I’m in the US so I’ve mostly watched US TV shows, I’ve been wanting to watch shows made by other countries as there must be some great ones that never took off in the states.
I’ve seen a few I could recommend like Alice in Borderlands (Japanese), Gangs in London (UK), Lupin (French)

This Country (UK) is so charming and painful at the same time. Even if you don’t like Welcome to Flatch, you might still love This Country.
Taskmaster (UK)
That show is a balm for my soul.
As an American, this is 100% my favorite TV show. I’m so happy they got the rights to release every episode on YouTube the day after it airs.
Also, if you enjoy the UK panel show vibe, I really enjoy Would I Lie to You and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown
Second “8 out of 10 cats died countdown”, and also suggest “Would I lie to you?”
I second Cats Countdown.
I didn’t like the NZ one, tbh.
Kingdom (South Korea)
Derry Girls (Ireland)
Babylon Berlin (Germany)
Danger 5 from Australia: It’s hilarious.
A Very Secret Service is also funny (but it’s in Fr*nch)
I love British comedy. Peep Show, Spaced, and People Just Do Nothing are some of my favorites.
Ahh… but have you tried This is Jinsy?!?
The Phantom Menace was 18 months ago, Tim!
Peep Show is my human litmus test. Seeing how people react to that show can tell you a lot about them.
I loved Luther, although wasn’t impressed by the recent movie.
I believe the movie was, unfortunately, a rushed conclusion to what was an amazing series, because they just couldn’t get enough of Idris Elba’s time in between Hollywood flicks. His star had simply risen too far by that point.
It’s a real shame, too - we waited so long for that movie.
Sahsiyet. It’s like Breaking Bad, but Turkish. Really well produced and binge worthy.
South Korea is really uping their tv game. I really enjoy many of their shows.
I really liked La Casa de Papel. Netflix renamed it to ‘Money Heist,’ which is a terrible name. Still a good series though.
Life on Mars (UK)
Please tell me you watched the follow-on series, Ashes to Ashes, with Keeley Hawes. Same concept, but she goes back to the 80s, and also meets Gene Hunt. Great addition to the original series!
Wow, did I hate the sequel series.
Dark (German). Awesome series.
Dark was great. For anyone watching for the first time, Netflix made a great website that helps you keep up with who is who with no spoilers. Select the last episode you’ve finished and it only gives information to that point.
Came here for this!
I loved season 1, especially for the 80s look in Germany which I remember from my childhood (Gen X)
Dark lost me with season 2
Dark was great, it reminded me a bit of Stranger Things in the first season. By the second season you almost need to take notes to keep up with the story line though
I need to take notes only 3 episodes in. I want to like it but it feels like tuning in to a random episode of the X-Files with no knowledge of what is going on.
