Nordic Noir
We're fairly new to Netflix. Recently I watched a detective show from Finland, Deadwind. I really liked it because the female detective is as stubborn as it gets. Many "heart in throat" moments that always drew me in even when they kept using old ploys. I hate to post spoilers so I'll leave it at that.
Then I found Bordertown, also filmed in Finland, which has to be the weirdest series I felt compelled to watch. There are two seasons available and a third is in the works. The Netflix version is dubbed. The English dubbing reminded me of the dubbing in '50s Godzilla movies. But I hung in there. I might watch the first episode of Season One on YouTube since it's not dubbed but with English subtitles. The real voices make all the difference. The stories are strange and sometimes hard to follow. But I couldn't stop from watching a little bit every night until I finished both seasons.

I started watching foreign movies on our local NYC PBS station when I was a young teen. So by now it's just biz as usual after too many decades. 
A friend took a look at Bordertown and related her visit to Lithuanian years ago. She commented that Bordertown's dubbing could qualify for an academy award compared to the dubbing of American shows over there.
I figure that if I lurk, I lose. Today it's a bonanza. I've got In Order Of Disappearance on pause and now this terrific list of suggestions from you. Thanks so much.
I really like British shows Like Vera and Shetland. I found most of the DVDs at the library. But then a friend suggested Acorn TV since I watch a lot of the U.K. shows. Then husband recently wanted to sub to Netflix. It sure has grown up since its dvd rental days. I'll check out MHz and then maybe we'll drop one of the other cable networks that cost even more per month.
We have Comcast and access Netflix that way. But Bordertown was the only dubbed foreign language offering so far. If I download the app do you think I can watch it on my tv? Tablets are okay but I prefer using the big screen.
Btw, I never knew it was called Nordic Noir until recently. "Noir" is even a fairly recent addition to my vocabulary. They were all just the b&w second features that I slept through as a youngster because the stories were way over my head. Now I love Noir Alley on TCM. Eddie Muller does a great job and even has the perfect name for hosting the genre.
Please don't hold back. This whole thread is going to keep me busy watching some great stories. I won't have to wade through any meh stuff. And I'm on track with English captions and original language listening. Things couldn't be better.
Btw, tonight I also found a 1/2 hour Israeli comedy series that might work out. It's called Hashoter Hatov or The Good Cop. I didn't know if it was for me but as the minutes passed I realized that it's a welcome palate cleanser from watching murder mysteries so much. Some really funny moments that I want to go back for more. It was suggested by Netflix since I watched Shtisel.
One thing that strikes me about foreign based shows is how much more people actually sit down and eat meals in these stories. In Shtisel I wanted to go get a fork or a spoon and demand a taste. They were eating all the time. Even in Bordertown the main character was getting into a Finnish meat pie that looked so good I had to look up some recipes. The family cooks and sits down and they have meals.
I'm starting to ramble. It feels like it's time to go watch the second episode of Good Cop.
And Fazio? 
Catarella also has a place in my heart. Poor guy. He's ... well, he's just Catarella. I love the time he quit because he thought he screwed up too badly and Montalbano went and got him back. He found him outside his house peeling potatoes. Montalbano has such a big heart.
