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.
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).
Love/Hate, made in Ireland, 5 seasons, crime drama, gangland type story based in Dublin.
i watched it when it aired but that was 25 years ago so im not sure how it holds up these days. i vaguely remember it being decent enough at the start and then getting better as the seasons went on
Dark. But you might get a knot in your brain.
A three-fold knot, to be exact!
Black Books
The IT Crowd
Two favourite of mine! Good taste 😄
Taskmaster has me howling with laughter every episode.
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!
Unfortunately the NO version is almost impossible to find. Wanted to give it to my parents to watch.
If you're on the tracker known as TL, three seasons seem to be there with the IDs 2003717, 2003718 and 2003719.
Tin Tin
Babylon Berlin
Dr Who
Bully Parade (german only)
Historical series like: Maria Theresia, Borgia, Medici
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.
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.
Goot meuning.
I'll add more: Dark, 1899, Money Heist, Peaky Blinders, Gomorrah, Black Mirror, Norsemen, Lupin, Kleo.
Line Of Duty.
Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes.
The Bureau! Espionage thriller series focusing on deep-cover agents in France’s external intelligence agency (DGSE)
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.
"Bouquet residence! Lady of the house speaking."
"this is not a Chinese restaurant!"
Bron (or The Bridge) is a good swedish crime drama that is a little bit older.
@Sunshine Fleabag
@Sunshine Norsemen is also brilliant.
Father Ted.
IMDB link.
Boris (IT), a metaseries about the production of shitty telenovelas. It also condenses Italian culture from multiple PoV in a spectacular way.
Utopia
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.
Lupin
Call My Agent! / Dix Pour Cent
