The Great British Sewing Bee (BBC). Even if you are not at all interested in sewing clothes. It's so fucking wholesome and adorable that it's a massive antidote to all the bad things out there. First season is still a bit rough, it gets better and better after that (there are 11 seasons in total now).
We were still one of you when Utopia got made so you can't deny it's a European show. Still a great series though the conspiracy theory core now seems almost hilariously out of touch in this post truth world.
Love/Hate, made in Ireland, 5 seasons, crime drama, gangland type story based in Dublin.
i watched it when it aired but that was 25 years ago so im not sure how it holds up these days. i vaguely remember it being decent enough at the start and then getting better as the seasons went on

If you like dark humour that doesn't hold any punches: Norsemen is my recommendation.

Loved it. I think the fact thay they shot it twice (NO and EN), with the actors having the norwegian accent made it even more fun for me.

Unfortunately the NO version is almost impossible to find. Wanted to give it to my parents to watch.

If you're on the tracker known as TL, three seasons seem to be there with the IDs 2003717, 2003718 and 2003719.

If you like interesting, complex, morally ambiguous detective shows, The Killing and The Bridge effectively kicked off the scandi-noir genre.
Deutschland 83 (and the follow ups 86 and 89) is a German show about an East German spy sent to West Germany amd is fantastic.

Darkness: Those Who Kill, a very well made serie going on its piece. Also some old UK comedy: Fawlty Towers and Keeping Up Appearances.
