I've seen alot of excellent foreign television series. Here's what I'd suggest:

UK
Criminal Justice (2 Series)
Doctor Foster (Renewed for a 2nd Series)
The Fall (Renewed for a 3rd Series)
Fortitude (Renewed for a 2nd Series)
Happy Valley (Renewed for a 2nd Series)
The Honourable Woman (1 Series)
Humans (Renewed for a 2nd Series. It's based off the Swedish Series Real Humans.)
Hunted (1 Series)
Luther (4 Series)
The Missing (Renewed for a 2nd Series)
River (Miniseries)
Run (Miniseries)
Sherlock (Renewed for a 4th Series)
The Tunnel (Renewed for a 2nd Series. It's based off the Swedish Series The Bridge.)
Unforgotten (Renewed for a 2nd Series)
Wallander (Renewed for a 4th Series. It's based off the Swedish Series Wallander.)

Australia
The Principal (Miniseries)
Secrets & Lies (Miniseries. The U.S. did their own adaptation to this. But I highly recommend the original.)
The Slap (Miniseries. The U.S. did their own adaptation to this. But I highly recommend watching the original first.)

France
The Returned (2 Series. The U.S. did their own adaptation to this. But I highly recommend the original, especially since the U.S. version was canceled.)

Denmark
The Killing (3 Series. The U.S. did their own adaptation to this. Both versions are unique and great.)

Sweden
The Bridge (3 Series. There is this version, the UK version, and the U.S. version. All 3 are great.)

Germany
Deutschland 83 (Miniseries)


TV Shows I've watched: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls072583934/. Any suggestions?

I liked this one:


Unforgotten (2015)
Police start to investigate when the bones of a young man are found under the footings of a demolished house 39 years after his murder.

btw, i'll start off by saying this is not a 1 season series, Doctor Fosters is getting a 2nd series and most of these are not 1 series, Fingersmith & Secrets & Lies were only ones from my list which had just 1 series

Liked

Luther

Orphan Black (this is Canadian i believe but several of the chars speak in British i believe so it kind of feels like a mixed type of show

Midsomer Murders

Broadchurch

Thirteen - also starring the actress playing the mistress Kate, it's what led me here

Hex

Fingersmith

Lip Service

Wentworth - Australian

Secrets & Lies - Australian


from the above posters

The Fall was alright but i don't remember it too well, only vaguely some scenes & what it's about

Sherlock - hated & boring, seen S01

River - hated & boring, seen 1st few eps

The Tunnel - boring pilot

if anyone has any recommendations based on my likes & dislikes, let me know what you'd recommend

IMHO River (miniseries) and Sherlock (waiting for 4th season) are two of the best series I've watched in a while.

My Mad Fat Diary - 3 series, very good.
Poldark - remake, 2nd series coming.
And Then There Were None - mini series.

THE POLITICIAN'S WIFE (1995) with Juliet Stevenson has quite a few similarities to DR. FOSTER.

It's really good. And Minnie Driver has one of those "before-they-were-famous" supporting roles in it.
