itt: non-english-language netflix series you recommend (or not) and commentary thereon

Really enjoying Prisoner, thanks for the recommendation

Started watching Hidden Theories (portugal) and I am somewhat confused about how banks work there

as posted on the other streaming thread, I started watching the Korean ad agency drama AGENCY on Netflix, and it hits a similar sweet spot as my other recent Korean fave STRANGER while being completely different. Two episodes in and it's already extremely twisty with a couple thoroughly despicable male agency execs engaging in a Succession-type war against the female lead. She's similar to one of the two leads in Stranger (Cho Seung-woo as Si-mok) in that the trauma of her childhood has informed her superficial coldness and callousness, which leads to those around her misunderstanding and underestimating her. Absolutely soapy OTT kinda stuff, I love it so far.

Spymaster on iPlayer is familiar but not. it's another cold war spy drama set in the 70s with all the necessary retro fashions but this one is Romanian (and German and Russian and American)

(a joint Hungarian Romanian production based on the credits)

Parlement seems to be the Euro version of The Thick of It… anyone else seen it?

No, never heard of it! downloading now..

Fourth and final series of My Brilliant Friend now streaming. Loving every minute of it so far, the new actresses are great and the script is as sharp as ever.

Divided We Stand — Germans investigating Stasi crimes post-unification… a bit Tatort-ish in terms of odd couple detectives (i have watched a half dozen Tatorts btw) … similar era to Kleo which was v awesome

I think Culinary Class Wars got some discussion on the other streaming thread. am on the last-but-one episode. very fascinated by how Edward Lee gets treated, though as a total outsider I don't know if my assumptions are correct.
