I would say that in general nordic TV is in demand. There's even a genre[1] associated to the trend. Some nice serials (various genres):

- Bordertown (Sorjonen - Finland)

- Follow the money (Bedrag - Denmark)

- Trapped (Ófærð - Iceland)

- Home ground (Heimebane - Norway)

- Vår tid är nu (Sweden)

And stretching location a bit:

- Save me (UK)

- Bad banks (Germany)

- Le bureau des légendes (France)

Thanks for the recommendations! I haven't watched many Scandi shows since binging through Borgen, Forbrydelsen (The Killing) and Broen (The Bridge) few years ago. All highly recommended.

My picks:

  - Beforeigners (Norway)
  - Lilyhammer (Norway)
  - Welcome to Sweden (Sweden)
  - Young pope (Italy)
  - Brillant friend (Italy)
  - Deutschland 83 / 86 (Germany)

Including Italy is stretching the definition of Nordic though!

Broen, or The Bridge, is very nice (and noir) too

Any list of Nordic TV is incomplete without the inclusion of Norsemen (think Monty Python meets GoT).

Trollhunter and Dead Snow. The norwegians have an insane sense of humor.
