I thought Beforeigners simply was too short for the concepts it presented.

[–] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It certainly needed at least one more season, but what there was was very good.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also if you like Babylon Berlin, have you tried or heard of Paris Police 1900 or Balkan Shadows?

[–] GreyShuck@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Paris Police 1900 is on my watchlist, I had just about heard of Balkan Shadows, but not looked into it. Thanks.

From French Canada, there's La faille (2019) - season 1 was the weakest but season 2 and 3 are top tier From France there's a lot:

  • Panda (2023), it deserved more than 2 seasons but the end of season 2 is epic
  • Capitaine Marleau (2014), a top tier main character with good mysteries and comedy
  • Alexandra Ehle (2018), another fantastic main character, love me a show about a weird pathologist
  • Master Crimes (2023), funny show with elaborate crimes
  • César Wagner (2020), fun show with a love triangle that I hope ends in polyamory because all 3 characters are awesome
  • Face à Face (2021), each episode being related to a bit of the French law is great and more shows should do that. Fun show with a good bit of family drama

From Finland, Korvessa kulkevi (2023) - the first show in a long time where I didn't guess the culprit or the why

This Turkish show called Hakan: Muhafiz, or The Protector was pretty good. It was about a guy who discovered he has ties to a secret order and has to save the world from an immortal bad guy.

I have also been watching a show called Karppi or Deadwind. It is a police procedural, which I typically avoid. But a friend is watching it, an I am learning Finnish.

Bread, Love, and Dreams aka King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu

A totally corny "struggle and progress by honesty and perseverance" show that was fun to watch!

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would "Huge in France" fit this? It's about Gad Elmaleh moving to America and he has a hard time understanding that he's not famous there. So lots of culture shock moments, it's in English but a very international feel

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Technically not as it's a US-based series, but I'm not going to go up and down the thread and litigate given examples lol

[–] thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You're asking in english for non-english language recommendations ? There's some sort of contradiction there.

Anyway

Nah, I don't need recommendations personally. I'm just opening up a general thread lol

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what were you expecting, esperanto?

[–] thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ask the question in the language you're after an answer in ?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I mean this isn't a general "I want recommendations" thread but if it was, I didn't specify any specific country-of-origin (so what language would I use?) moreover plenty of English-based people watch a lot of interrnational shows to begin with.
