Lupin
Call My Agent! / Dix Pour Cent
The Great British Sewing Bee (BBC). Even if you are not at all interested in sewing clothes. It's so fucking wholesome and adorable that it's a massive antidote to all the bad things out there. First season is still a bit rough, it gets better and better after that (there are 11 seasons in total now).
Taskmaster has me howling with laughter every episode.
Spaced
Darkness: Those Who Kill, a very well made serie going on its piece. Also some old UK comedy: Fawlty Towers and Keeping Up Appearances.
Tin Tin
Babylon Berlin
Dr Who
Bully Parade (german only)
Historical series like: Maria Theresia, Borgia, Medici
Dark. But you might get a knot in your brain.
A three-fold knot, to be exact!
ZeroZeroZero
Parliament
Crematorio
El Ministerio del Tiempo
If you like dark humour that doesn't hold any punches: Norsemen is my recommendation.
Loved it. I think the fact thay they shot it twice (NO and EN), with the actors having the norwegian accent made it even more fun for me.
Oh absolutely!
The Lazarus Project
If you like interesting, complex, morally ambiguous detective shows, The Killing and The Bridge effectively kicked off the scandi-noir genre.
Deutschland 83 (and the follow ups 86 and 89) is a German show about an East German spy sent to West Germany amd is fantastic.
Boris (IT), a metaseries about the production of shitty telenovelas. It also condenses Italian culture from multiple PoV in a spectacular way.
The Bureau! Espionage thriller series focusing on deep-cover agents in Franceโs external intelligence agency (DGSE)
Black Adder, The Piglet files, Allo allo, Only fools and horses, The New Statesman just to name the few - old school awesome comedy.
loved Allo allo and Only fools and horses! Can't go wrong with these two.
My favorite is Black Adder :) Nothing beats it.
Line Of Duty.
Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes.
I'll add more: Dark, 1899, Money Heist, Peaky Blinders, Gomorrah, Black Mirror, Norsemen, Lupin, Kleo.
Goot meuning.
We were still one of you when Utopia got made so you can't deny it's a European show. Still a great series though the conspiracy theory core now seems almost hilariously out of touch in this post truth world.
