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.
Yes, we’ve watched that; it was excellent. I do enjoy the books too.
Along similar lines, Dept Q.
Edinbrugh based cold case squad works out of the basement of police headquarters. The boss has severe PTSD after being shot on the job, and his subordinates are equally broken.
Another excellent show we thoroughly enjoyed!
