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.
Yeah, those two might be the only silver lining. Maybe “Die Anstalt” as well, though that’s a very specific kind of show.
“Die Anstalt” is goated, yes. On the more lighter side I like Pastewka, Sketch History (basically Germany’s Monty Python), Die Familie Heinz Becker, Mitternachtsspitzen, Kalkofes Mattscheibe and Loriots as well as Gerhard Polts movies and series (very dated though sometimes timeless).
