My current addiction lies in European Crime Drama. Not only are the stories captivating, but they are also linguistically interesting with a mixture of European languages.
To get you in the 'spirit', here is a list of some engaging shows currently available through SBS On Demand:
The Missing
Crime Drama - English, French, German2 seasons
Each series follows a separate case. Season 1 follows the story of a 5-year old English boy who goes missing in a small French town. It showcases the torment of the parents and the community as they desperately try to unravel the mystery over 8 years.
Noxe
Crime Drama - French1 season
A cop goes missing in the sewers of Paris, which uncovers some dark and troubling secrets. With the amazing Nathalie Baye.
The Bureau
Drama - French3 seasons
I found this series a little dry, however the cases are still fascinating and great on a language-level as there is a lot of dialogue. The stories are based on accounts from former French spies.
The Returned
Thriller - French2 seasons
A small French town is haunted by the return of people killed in bloody murders seven years prior.
Beyond the Walls
Thriller - French1 season
A series that keeps you on edge as the protagonist explores the spooky history of the uninhabited house at the end of the street. Strange things happen...
Just One Look
Crime Drama - French1 season
Next one of the list to watch... A woman goes on the hunt for her missing husband.
Also, look out for two extra series that have recently expired through SBS On Demand:
The Disappearance

The Tunnel

Adapted from the Nordic series, The Bridge, a body is found in the tunnel under La Manche (The Channel) split between the border of England and France. Police on both sides must work together to solve the crimes.
