Walter Presents recommendations

I've loved Walter Presents shows in the past but feel like I'm running out of good things . Have tried All the Sins, which is OK but a bit dull; The Border is a bit macho... etc etc.
I loved Thicker Than Water, Stockholm Requiem, mostly loved The Twelve. Also like BBC4 and C4 things like Rebecka Martinsson.

Anyone got any good recommendations?

I just finished watching Torn, which I enjoyed.

Also enjoyed watching the first series of The Swingers, haven't watched the rest of the series yet.

IntermittentParps · 09/04/2021 16:42

Thank you! Is Torn a bit steamy? I tend to prefer crime, or family drama, to affair/sex things.

Man in Room 301 is a good Finnish drama on BBC iPlayer.

icedancerlenny · 09/04/2021 16:47

The Deutschland series is brilliant

IntermittentParps · 09/04/2021 16:47

I watched that, Violet. It was good, yes.

Couldn't get into Deutschland, for some reason, although I liked The Same Sky.

Have you seen The Bridge (Swedish with subtitles) and Der Passe (German with subtitles)? Both brilliant crime, similar theme.

IntermittentParps · 09/04/2021 16:55

The Bridge, yes (love it). Der Passe, no! I'll look it up.

If there's anything similar, I also like The Passenger and The Crimson Rivers. Oh, and Thou Shalt Not Kill.

Deliver Us (Danish drama) is v good. Quite heavy & tense.

IntermittentParps · 09/04/2021 17:13

Ooh, that sounds good, Pippinlily.

Torn - no not steamy, it's a psychological drama (with crime). The Swingers is a bit of a crime drama as well, I don't remember it being steamy, but I watched that over a year ago.

The Adulterer (Dutch) there are 3 series of this production.

IntermittentParps · 09/04/2021 17:54

Thanks both!

DNA on BBC iplayer is another good Danish crime drama.

saveforthat · 09/04/2021 21:20

The Outlaws is absolutely brilliant

wizzywig · 09/04/2021 21:22

Deliver us was so good!

PineappleCakes · 09/04/2021 21:24

I loved Professor T on All4, really quirky and clever.

wisepanda · 09/04/2021 21:58

Vanish by the lake, fear by the lake and killer by the lake - french
23 cases - german crime
The passenger - french crime
Code 23 sex crimes - Belgian police drama
Thou shalt not kill - italian
I love a good crime/police drama my husband is getting a bit worried 😂

LizzieMacQueen · 10/04/2021 00:26

Another vote for the Outlaws. If you can find it. I watched it about 3 or 4 years ago.

I also watched the Other mother, but it wasn't nearly as good.

MrsMaizel · 10/04/2021 01:59

Not WP but in a very similar vein - The Tunnel 1 and 2.

The Passenger, 13 Commandments , Detective Kain, The Truth will out, Alex and Bordertown ( loved this )

SapatSea · 10/04/2021 10:31

Blue Eyes and Bad Banks and Spin (if it's still on Walter)

Procrastination4 · 10/04/2021 11:02

Currently watching Greyzone, just finished The Twelve, loved The Adulterer, and watched Philharmonia a while back. Borgen( courtesy of Mumsnet!) got me into subtitled European dramas. I’ve watched so many at this stage! Weirdly, I can’t watch them with the volume low. I have to have it at the volume I’d watch a programme in English. Strange!Grin

IntermittentParps · 10/04/2021 18:05

I loved Borgen! It’s coming back, on Netflix.
Thanks for all these, MNetters. Seen some (Blue Eyes, Outlaws...) and will check out some more.

The passenger. Really liked it.
