What is Your Favorite Foreign Tv Series (lemmy.world)

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)

Taskmaster (UK)

As an American, this is 100% my favorite TV show. I'm so happy they got the rights to release every episode on YouTube the day after it airs.

Also, if you enjoy the UK panel show vibe, I really enjoy Would I Lie to You and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

Second "8 out of 10 cats died countdown", and also suggest "Would I lie to you?"

I second Cats Countdown.

Many of the international versions are worth watching as well. The New Zealand and Australian versions are in English and so fairly easy to watch. Perhaps not unexpectedly, the US version is not good.

I didn't like the NZ one, tbh.

That show is a balm for my soul.
