Culture I’m watching one TV series from every European country — what’s your recommendation from yours?

Hi everyone!

I started a project where I watch one series from each country in Europe. I’ve already done:

France: La Forêt

Spain: La Casa de Papel

Next up: Gloria from Portugal

I’d love to hear what show you think best represents your country (or is just a really good one to watch). Ideally something available with English subtitles.

People here might not recognize it by the name "Pat a Mat", but tell them "A je to", and watch their faces light up... :)

A je to! is the original title of the show, before they gave the two characters their iconic names in later series. And it truly is Czechoslovakian production, at least originally, filmed by Studio Jiřího Trnky in Prague for Czechoslovakian Television Bratislava, meaning for Slovakian part of the federation originally. But eventually made its way to Czech part of Czechoslovakia and now is popular in both Czechia and Slovakia, as well as around the world.
