Probably many others I just don't recall
I really enjoyed “The Devil’s Plan” on Netflix. It’s a South Korean reality show with smart people solving puzzles. If you like math, you’ll like this show.
I love Korean paranormal crime dramas and I loved Signal. It's about two detectives trying to solve the same case from two different points in time. Another season is on hold until after the strokes but what there is is really great.
It's a bit old now, but I really liked Summer Snow from Japan. Also Hungry from Japan (similarly dated).
There a lot of great kdrama shows. And no, I’m not talking about Squid Game. I can recommend Beyond Evil, D.P., and Moving.
Exit (Norwegian)
Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams (joint UK and US production, premiered first on Channel 4)
great ones that never took off in the states
This TV series fits this description to a T because I reckon that most people, when thinking of a sci-fi TV anthology series, would bring to mind Black Mirror.
I watched Electric Dreams shortly after finishing the latest season of Black Mirror; I found the former more enjoyable and poignant than the latter.
Basically I don't watch TV anymore.
Utopia (AU) - similar vein to Parks & Rec but more bureaucracy. I love it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

We're on a UK/Irish police drama kick right now:
If you don't mind a bit of war history, SAS Rogue Heroes is incredible. Great look at the unit that became the British SAS, with some really good comedy thrown in. In the same vein (British war/comedy), Bluestone 42 is great too.
Forgetting many others but just having first cup of coffee
Klovn, the tv show (but also the three movies they made), is a Danish Curb Your Enthusiasm style show, often much more out there and including a lot of references to bodily humour.
It might take a little while to get into but it is riotously funny at times.
I think it was on Hulu for a bit, for all you Americans.
Silent Witness, Waking the Dead, Hinterland, Inspector Morse, George Gently, Vera, Poirot (the David Suchet version).
We watch a lot of detective shows.
Kingdom (South Korea)
Derry Girls (Ireland)
Danger 5 from Australia: It's hilarious.
A Very Secret Service is also funny (but it's in Fr*nch)
