Go Abroad, One Show at a Time.
Seventeen Euro TV titles premiere in or return with a new season to the US in November, including the highly-anticipated, first non-English-language series produced by HBO.
The Norwegian mystery-crime drama series Varg Veum is fabulous. I can’t recommend it enough. Go watch it if you haven’t already.
Along with Halloween and the return to standard time come fifteen new shows, seasons, and telefilms from France, Italy, Germany, Norway, and Spain in October.
Well, I didn’t see that ending coming, and now that I have, I wish there were a third season of The Court. Alas, no.
On average, you can watch one new Euro TV series or season every three days in August, as ten of them make their stateside debuts.

Walter Presents is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month and giving stateside Euro TV fans three freebies related to the US premiere of Norwegian mystery series The River.
Unless a soothsayer tells you “Beware the Ides of March,” it’s likely you’re not in any danger, but you might want to stay home anyway for the premiere of the final season of The Bridge.
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Or not. What is certain is that some of the most highly-anticipated Euro TV shows premiere on telly this month.
Some of the best international TV shows on the planet premiered in the US and UK last year, and the ones I thought were fabulous are numerous.
