Culture, and television in particularly in Europe has been quite America-dominated for a while. I'd love to hear what's good from your home countries. If I can make a request, give a short description of the shows that you are recommending, try to sell it a bit, and don't just post the titles. Particularly, I'd recommend:

Matador (Danish, 1978)

This is the best TV series in the history of Denmark, possibly the world. Set in a small fictional town, it takes place in the years 1929-1947, and the changes Danish society goes through at the time. While this is interesting, the real strength is the fantastic characterization, with the show starring pretty much all famous Danish actors of the era, doing their best work.

Whiskey on the Rocks (Swedish, 2025)

A Swedish satirical series about the Whiskey on the Rocks incident of 1981, where a Soviet Whiskey-class nuclear submarine ran aground in Karlskrona. It got a lot of criticism for depicting the Soviet Union as lovable drunken buffoons instead of brutal imperialists, but I found it pretty funny regardless.

Braunschlag (Austria, 2011)

Another comedy. The mayor of the upper Austrian village of Braunschlag ran the town bankruptcy. In order to get some money flowing back into the town, he decides to fake a Marian apparition. The series is generally very Austrian, but fantastic if you like that sort of thing.

On Spain we have loads of TV series, some of them really really good. I recommend, among others, The Ministry of Time, The Cable Girls, Alpha Males, Los Serrano, The time in between, Money Heist, Patria and Riot Police. But there are many many others worth watching.

Here you have a very big list (also recommend this web to search for European TV series)

Outside Spain what I have liked most in European series is Borgen, Danish, although the last period has some money from Netflix, is very good.
