I recently watched Boglands and it was much better than I expected. Its about a small town in Ireland where a woman who disappeared gets found years later murdered in a bog. Its in Irish with a little English occasionally so subtitles are required.

Dark - it's a sci-fi mystery show with
Small spoiler for like episode 3
time travel
with a really captivating and intriguing plot. It's available on Netflix and is originally German, but I feel the English voice actors did a great job for the most part. It's very intricate and tbh a bit confusing the first watch with how many characters there are. I honestly started keeping notes on who everyone is! The soundtrack is amazing, it's so thematic. I watched with my mum and she refused to walk the dogs at night afterwards without me there because the soundtrack is so intense and disturbing for some of the scenes. I highly recommend this.
To a lesser extent, I also recommend 1899 by the same team. It's also really interesting and cerebral, but was unfortunately cancelled after one season when it was starting to get interesting. The English dub does lose out a bit though because in the original there are three or four languages spoken and it turns into an important plot point as to who speaks what language. I didn't even realise they were speaking different languages so I was just confused when that happened.
Babylon Berlin (DE) is amazing. They really nailed the tail end of the roaring ‘20s, and the subsequent market crash and rise of fascism. Great homage to old school film noir.
Gomorrah (IT) centres around a cocaine smuggling crime family. Lots of interpersonal politics within the family and between other syndicates. I think it was season 3 (could have been season 2) that dragged a little bit but the rest had me hooked.
The Icelandic series Trapped is fantastic, and the “sequel” Entrapped is also excellent.
Les Revenant (French I think) was spooky
If you can I find them, Deutschland 83, 86 and 89 and also stellar and remain on of my favorite shows in any language. Dark is not far behind either
If you like Deutschland 83/86/89, then I would recommend A Besugo (The Informant). Literally the Hungarian version.
And Babylon Berlin.
I second Babylon Berlin, it's amazing.
Other than than that I've recently enjoyed Vortex (French) and Public Enemy (Belgian), both on Netflix.
Not that I like it but Série Noire is really well like in Quebec, you could look at his first : Les invincibles and his latest C’est comme ça que je t’aime
Are you Quebecois? I watched the first season of Plan B 2017.
Never watch it myself
I had to hunt that down hard myself.
There is (was ?) a torrent site for Québécois series and movie, Rarbg or something like that
The first season of The Eternaut, based on a graphic novel from Argentina, came out earlier this year and is a pretty good modern screen adaptation of the material.
