Danish prison drama Prisoner (with Sofie Gråbøl) on BBC iPlayer is excellent.

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)
