I’ll second “dix pour cent”. Its fun and all the characters are flawed yet sympathetic.
I suppose the french audience get the extra joke of Famous French Actors sending themselves up. I wouldnt know if a guest star was parodying themselves or was playing the opposite of their image or had gone random for laughs.
Well, by the time you get to Jean Reno in S4 it’s pretty obvious.
Based on the novel by Jerzy Kosinksi. Great book. I haven’t seen the movie.
I agree. The movie is pretty horrifying, as well.
I also liked the Korean action crime thriller “My Name”. But if the original poster doesn’t consider Japanese shows to be “foreign enough”, then neither of these shows probably qualify either.
As a fan you probably already know this, but in case not: Season 3 of Lupin is now on Netflix. At least one review is very positive.
Oh, excellent! We lost Netflix awhile back when they cracked down on account-sharing, but at some point we’ll get our own account, and definitely look forward to season 3. Thank you!
Fisk is a comedy series on Netflix about a lawyer who leaves Sydney for Melbourne. I found it very funny.
A fun time-filler series about a French cop who teams up with an English bad boy who has secrets! Beautiful people and views, worth it for just the city and coastlines.
Mentioned in the other current Cafe Society thread Series you've recently watched, are now watching or have given up on - #3060 by solost are two french series Balthazar and Black Spot. I’ve only just started with Balthazar but am enjoying it, the titular character is a brilliant yet eccentric police pathologist and his foil is a newly transferred female homicide detective. Black Spot is set in a small town in a remote area of France with a surprising number of crimes and an interesting slow reveal of supernatural elements. There are only 2 seasons and while the main story/mystery gets resolved I really thought that there’d be at least one more season but it appears that’s not going to happen.
Vincenzo is a South Korean series, one season with 21 episodes. The titular character is an orphan adopted by an Italian couple who grows up to be the consigliere of a powerful gang. When the head of the family dies, Vincenzo returns to South Korea to claim a fortune in gold hidden in a building slated for demolition. I found it both hilarious and chilling.
Then there’s the Mexican the supernatural thriller Diablero. I realize the OP excluded the country, but if you enjoyed any of the Army of the Dead movies or the TV show, I think you’ll like this one.
Lastly, the Sweden-Denmark series Bron/Broen or The Bridge that starts with a body found placed on a bridge exactly on the border between the two countries. I thought the first season was excellent, it went downhill a bit in season 2 so I didn’t finish. The show spawned a number of copycats with other bordering countries that I haven’t seen.
ETA - I somehow linked to the last post in the other thread, not the one that mentions Balthazar and Black Spot…
