    Don’t know if many on here watch foreign tv series with subtitles,I watch quite a few as they are much better than what we produce.Just finished watching GOMORRAH season 5 which is the last one.It’s Italian and about drug gangs.Wow what a brilliant series.Also The Bridge ,The Tunnel,and also Spiral are all top notch well worth a watch.

    The Bridge is the best thing I’ve watched in years. I really miss Saga!

    Haven't seen Gomorrah, but Suburra: Blood on Rome is excellent.

    German series called Dark beats everything. Single greatest television series ever produced imo.

    Starts good, gets brilliant, ends daft. You'll probably like The Rain if you liked that.

    Just ploughed through Succession. Brilliant in its own way, but I'm getting a bit jaded by these TV shows that are geared to be never ending

    Brotherhood (Irmandade) is recommended (on Netflix).

    Other foreign language series I've seen:
    Ragnorok - Very enjoyable Norwegian fantasy about the Norse gods in modern day. I loved this and it gets better in the second series, which is unusual.
    Money Heist - Excellent but inevitably gets weirder as the show goes on.
    Elves (Nisser) - A great idea and the elves were nicely done but the writing was terrible.
    Rita - Danish light-hearted show about a teacher that was surprisingly good.
    Lupin - A French master thief show that was a bit daft but very watchable.
    Dark - I quite liked the first series but could not get back into it when the second started.
    How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast) - This was fairly watchable about nerds selling drugs (youth Breaking Bad I suppose) but it's quite fast paced so it tests your subtitle reading abilities.
    Kingdom - I thought this was an interesting take on zombies, taking it back to a period piece but the missus was less keen so it got shelved after a few episodes.
    Squid Game - Only watched the first couple of episodes and then stopped, no idea why.

    I did a Google search for foreign Netflix shows to help me remember shows I'd seen and forgotten and the top result was "How do I remove foreign shows from Netflix?" What a shame.
