I did not know about "The Bureau" before, thank you for the tip!

While we are on the subject - French tv-series - I am a BIG fan of "Un village francais"
(A French Village). In my humble opinion, a fantastic production! Like the title says, it is about a small French village during World War 2.

Another good French series is Les Revenants :

Stephen King praised it. The US adaptation is not so nice.

Generally I don't like this way that have Americans to "americanize" some good series. For example, Hatufim, a real good Israelian series becoming Homeland…

And the original Danish version of The Killing is great. I could not watch more than 2 episodes of the American one. They are better in their own creations.

The Belgian "Beauséjour" is fine also :

Beside, most of series about a teenager who is missing or killed has Twin Peaks for original pattern : The Top of the Lake ( New Zealand), Beauséjour, The Killing, Broadchurch… Lynch is the master of the "genre", others are only followers.

I loved the Danish version of 'The Killing' but I too found the American version unwatchable

I cannot think of any American programs I like, especially American comedy

The only thing America produced that I actually enjoy is 'Star Trek' yes I am a Trekkie

I liked Game of Thrones, because I am a fan of the books, but when the seasons stops to follow the novels' story (because Martin is so SLOW to write the tome 6) and wrote their own scenario, I let it, it became only a show of sex and blood, without the political cleverness of the saga.

The 1st season of True Detective was great. I did not watch the 2nd one which has nothing to do with the 1st story.

Another good series : The Fall. Not for Gillian Anderson (all the red-haired charm of sturdy Scully faded away when she became an anorexic blondie) but for the character of Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) who wrote the most beautiful bullet journal ever

I read a brilliant detective novel but when they turned it into a series they changed the ginger haired assistant into a black man

Much of the humor in the book came from the ginger haired assistant unable to hide his facial expressions and blushes, which meant his boss could read him like a book and never had to wait for a verbal answer

They turned a great book into a rubbish series

How dare they swap a lovely fun filled ginger haired man for an emotional-less back man with all the charm of a dead slug

This is racial/colour discrimination against Ginger Haired people
