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.
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
Life on Mars (UK)
Babylon Berlin (Germany)
I liked Game of Thrones actually! 👍 Currently going through Star Trek, starting with the original series that I also enjoy!
The premise was foreign tv series, by which I assume means from non- English speaking countries
Yeah… my post was mostly a joke on assumptions like yours. English is actually a foreign language to more people than I this native to
Bluey.
FUCK YEAH

Do anime count?
No
But they are foreign, are played on TV and split up into episodes :(
Taskmaster, got into it during Covid because all of their episodes are free on Youtube.
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.
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.
Mr. Inbetween from Australia is pretty good
South Korea is really uping their tv game. I really enjoy many of their shows.
This Country (UK) is so charming and painful at the same time. Even if you don’t like Welcome to Flatch, you might still love This Country.
