There's a Lars Von Trier miniseries called The Kingdom.
Have you checked out Lupin?
Dark, if you haven't seen it yet. It's my favorite show of all time at the moment.
There’s also some miniseries by big film directors I could point you to if you have artsy tastes.
Berlin Alexanderplatz
Fanny and Alexander
Scenes From A Marriage
Dekalog

I highly recommend Trapped, an Icelandic series. The title refers more to the first season, where because of a blizzard, everyone is unable to leave the island when a murder occurs.
I actually watched it on Netflix and thought they considered it an Original Series based on streaming rights.
I don't recall the name, so I apologize if it's already been mentioned, but SF Debris has reviews of an interesting looking old school German sci-fi show.
That's good to hear. You might be disappointed by season 2 as the story there was quite as good as the first. Still watchable though. Heard they were working on a 3rd season, and don't know what's happened to it. Maybe it's just not available internationally yet.
That's "Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion", internationally known as "Space Patrol Orion". This series is ... very much a product of its time, which is the mid-1960s. Quite campy.
There is a more recent German space scifi show, with intentional comedy this time around, loosely based on Stanislaw Lem's "The Star Diaries". It was produced on a very, very low budget (even by German TV standarts), which the producers actually embraced by creating aliens and props from items aquired on flea markets, and having the interior of the space ship resemble a generic Berlin 'Altbauwohnung' (flat in older houses). The result was the brilliant "Ijon Tichy: Space Pilot":
A couple of good K-dramas (from Korea) -- Start-Up and Itaewon Class
I recently watched the German post-apocalyptic action show Tribes of Europa, that I really enjoyed. Just to clarify, the title is referring the Europe, not the moon.
And about 25%-50% of the dialogue in this is English.
There were a couple other non-English language shows I watched and enjoyed recently, but they're both horror/fantasy so I don't know if there's any point recommending them.
