From Australia, and I don't know about "best", but one I'm watching and enjoying at the moment is Deadloch

I'd say the best would have to be bluey simply because of the huge global success
Australia: Lano & Woodley
It's only funny to Aussies and has a specific kind of humour, but I get very patriotic over it
Italy: I'd probably say "Boris", a satirical comedy series about italy's television industry, similar to Seth Rogen's "the studio".
Norway: "Beforeigner" started great, but I think they didn't really have much of a plan beyond the 1st season.
Interesting setting/premise. It's fun to see an area I used to walk several times per day having become a hangout spot for Neolithic people.
Added to my list. Just the first season :)
I wouldn't say the 2nd season is bad per say... just that the plot kinda drifted, so there's nothing wrong with watching it.
Germany, but limited to comedy (cause I don't really watch any shows, but if I do then it's comedy):
- Stromberg - a German office show, focused on just one department with an absolute dickhead for a boss. But the worker characters are great too.
- Pastewka - a series of the actor/comedian Bastian Pastewka where he basically plays himself in his private life. Often compared to Curb Your Enthusiasm, but while there are similarities it's a totally different character IMO.
- jerks - basically the title, two friends who are jerks. They're often getting into awkward situations and try to resolve them with lies and brazenness.
I love them all three, hard to pick one as the best. Probably Stromberg.
Stromberg is our adaptation of "The Office"

Israel: HaPijamot (literally: The Pajamas). It's a sitcom for kids (but really more for their parents IMO) about a mediocre band that's trying to make it big in Tel Aviv. The show often breaks the fourth wall in a way that's really hard for me to explain. It's kind of like a mockumentary, but it plays with it a lot. For example, there's a "white screen" sometimes where the cast pauses the show to explain something to the audience. It's clearly an abstract place that doesn't canonically exist in the world. But occasionally it plays a role in the plot, e.g. a character goes there to hide from everyone else, or someone would abuse the system and activate the white screen to get out of a sticky situation.
The original premise of the band quickly becomes secondary, it's just a great show with excellent writing and a great cast. It even has a few spin-offs, including a great one where the fast food shop owner becomes a detective.
I think you may have triggered a rewatch for me, it's been years since I last saw it!

I'll also point out that in the first 3 seasons, it also stars Alona Tal, who later moved to the US and there's a chance you've seen her in some of her roles.
US: The Wire

Currently going through Star Trek: Lower Decks and enjoying it. Borrowing the discs from a friend.
