What's the best TV show from your country? (lemmy.curiana.net)

If I were to watch one show from your country, what would you recommend?

We can obviously skip English language shows as those are all well known. I'm sure other countries also have great shows that are not that popular. Ideally, something original and specific to this country, not some big Netflix show that's the same a shows from any other country.

To start, from Spain I would recommend "Riot Police": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10883660/

Great story, great characters, great acting. It covers universal problems like police brutality and corruption so it's accessible to anyone but it also shows them though a Spanish prism that makes it unique.

Mr Inbetween is probably the most popular, but if you want an Australian version of The Office I would highly recommend Utopia.

Seconding Mr Inbetween cause it deserves it.

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

Thirding Mr Inbetween. Very good and kind of a fresh take on the topic. I've watched it a couple times already. Wish they would have made more but at the same time it ended up very well.

I said no English language shows but I forgot about our friends from the other side of the world. Shows from Australia and New Zealand are not that popular so thanks for the recommendations. We did have "Heartbreak High" in the TV in Poland though :D

I've been watching Fisk and really enjoying it. The first season of Danger 5 is short but was peak TV

[–] jonesy@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Danger 5 is another great one!
