“Dark” (Germany)

Dark is a critically acclaimed German series that perfectly blends hard science fiction with intense psychological drama. The plot of the story is framed within a specific town called Winden, which is drenched in rains, and the event starts with the disappearance of two young children, however, it quickly evolves into a complicated network of time travel, the secrets of the past generation, and the approach of the apocalypse.

The series is known to be a twister of plots – you can probably lose the plot with the people who are connected with whom in which time line. It is a ghostly, philosophical trip that poses the question of whether it is something we can do to alter our destinies or we are just slaves of clock.

“Money Heist” (Spain)

Originally titled La Casa de Papel, Money Heist became a global phenomenon for a reason. This Spanish crime thriller is centered on an elaborate, high-stakes robbery of the Royal Mint of Spain, led by a mysterious criminal mastermind known as “The Professor.”

Instead of leaving the movie on the run, as is the case of regular heist films, this series explores the tension of the stand-off, the psychology of the crew (who are named after cities such as Tokyo and Denver) and the psychological battle between the Professor and the police. It is high-energy, emotionally loaded and extremely fashionable. 

“Squid Game” (South Korea)

Even in case you have somehow avoided the first wave of hype, Squid Game is still a must-watch survival drama. The show centers on the idea of financial disparity and ethical corruption in the form of a lethal tournament in which 456 contestants who are all heavily indebted are put to a test on a variety of traditional Korean games as children to win a colossal amount of money.

The catch? You play and if you lose a game, you lose your life. It is violent but so understanding, an examination of the human condition in a stressed situation. In addition to the suspense, its breathtaking visual layout and memorable characters have made it an indelible part of the history of the modern pop culture.

“Call My Agent!” (France)

To the somewhat light-minded, who yet do not want less sharp, Call My Agent! (Dix pour cent) It is just the right thing to do. The French comedy-drama takes place at one of the exclusive talent agencies in Paris and is a humorous, rapid dialogue glimpse at the hectic lives of the agents as they strive to keep their high-profile clients contented.

The show is also known due to its meta humor where real-life French and international stars (such as Sigourney Weaver and Juliette Binoche) tend to be a caricature of themselves. The series is an observant comedic projection of the office politics and the absolute absurdity of the entertainment industry.
