I’m in the US so I’ve mostly watched US TV shows, I’ve been wanting to watch shows made by other countries as there must be some great ones that never took off in the states.
I’ve seen a few I could recommend like Alice in Borderlands (Japanese), Gangs in London (UK), Lupin (French)
Letterkenny, Trailer Park Boys…the Canadian loophole
Love Shoresy. It’s a Letterkenny spinoff, it’s a comedy with an uptick of drama over the source material.
I love British comedy. Peep Show, Spaced, and People Just Do Nothing are some of my favorites.
The Phantom Menace was 18 months ago, Tim!
Ahh… but have you tried This is Jinsy?!?
I’m in the US. I love the IT Crowd, and most other British comedies. I also really enjoyed Broadchurch, Sherlock (it fell off a bit at the end), and Dr Who, but I’ve fallen a few seasons back on that.
Life on Mars (UK)
Babylon Berlin (Germany)
Dr Who, bar none.
Monty Python comes a close second, then The Young Ones.
I guess I just dig British TV a good bit because you have to get down the list a good ways before you find one from anywhere else.
The Young Ones so good.
That’s actually where I first heard motorhead
Breaking Bad
Not foreign for OP.
The question was what my favourite foreign TV series is, not what my favourite one of their foreign TV series is
Based on their post, the intent was foreign for them. Not foreign for you. That’s why they said they were in the US and wondered what shows didn’t take off in the US.
Bluey.
FUCK YEAH

I really liked La Casa de Papel. Netflix renamed it to ‘Money Heist,’ which is a terrible name. Still a good series though.
I liked Game of Thrones actually! 👍 Currently going through Star Trek, starting with the original series that I also enjoy!
South Korea is really uping their tv game. I really enjoy many of their shows.
Do anime count?
No
But they are foreign, are played on TV and split up into episodes :(
The Bridge (Sweden/Denmark, not the America/Mexico remake).
8oo10Cats and Graham Norton round out the top-three, but any procedural crime show will keep me. Even Midsummer Murders and especially Silent Witness.
“The bridge” is not foreign to me, but I agree. It’s really good.
Second this. First season was phenomenonal
The Chestnut Man
Lupin
Wallander
Poirot with David Suchet
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Return of Sherlock Holmes
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes
The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Sign of Four
Yes, I have a type and I am unashamed.
Taskmaster, got into it during Covid because all of their episodes are free on Youtube.
