There is plenty of tv out there not from the US and not from the UK which is very good. Americans just won't read subtitles, and miss a lot of good stuff.
I highly recommend the Japanese series "Bayside Shakedown," which is a quirky cop show with humor and crime all folded together with a bunch of characters you will never forget. It was hugely successful in Japan, and several spinoff movies were made, also hugely successful. If you can find these with English subtitles, give them a try (there used to be some on You Tube)
China makes incredible gorgeous costume epics with wild scenery and casts of gazillions--as tv series, some of them humorous.

The original Swedish "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is excellent, far better than an American remake. Plus, all three movies in the series are already available for streaming on Netflix. All are a must watch, IMO.
The Danes make some good crime dramas. "The Eagle" was a quite good TV series, about 26 episodes as I recall.
Ditto for "The Killing" (the original, not the US version)

Thanks, I’ll look for it.
I loved the S. Korean show ‘Pasta!’ on Netflix.

I’ll try to remember to look for Bayside Shakedown, thanks.
I really enjoyed the subtitled “I love Pasta” from South Korea on Netflix. It was completely campy, and so cute.
