What is Your Favorite Foreign Tv Series

ALilOff@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 62 points –

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)

Dark (German). Awesome series.

Dark was great. For anyone watching for the first time, Netflix made a great website that helps you keep up with who is who with no spoilers. Select the last episode you've finished and it only gives information to that point.

I loved season 1, especially for the 80s look in Germany which I remember from my childhood (Gen X)

Dark lost me with season 2

Dark was great, it reminded me a bit of Stranger Things in the first season. By the second season you almost need to take notes to keep up with the story line though

I need to take notes only 3 episodes in. I want to like it but it feels like tuning in to a random episode of the X-Files with no knowledge of what is going on.

It takes 4 episodes to really build into the complexity. Then season 2 turns it on its head.
