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.

    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.
