I clicked on this as it's listed on 4 catch up. Watched about a few minutes and thought, Jeez did I really watch this? But at the time I thought it was fantastic, which it was.

Really grateful to you Sam. I'm always on the lookout for a dark foreign language drama. Will check out the ones from your list I'm yet to see.
 
well? I do wonder
how many like these shows because it is uncool not to see them

personally never seen the wire or band of brorhers and resfuse to because everyone wants me to
It might be a reflection of the intellectual standard of your average BM poster but it seems many have interpreted your brief to mean simply their favourite TV shows of all time and conveniently ignored the '...that are not expected to be by others' bit.
Or maybe I've misunderstood your original post and I'm the thicko. Equally possible in fairness.
