ive been this year that is ending consuming lots of series, totally amazed of the high quality of most of them. breaking bad, mad men, dexter, rome and a long etc...
ive seen most of the great american and british series, but i wonder if theres other countries producing that great shows (definitely not in spain, its all crappy crap here).
so this thread is for recommandations, better if not english and not the most famous ones, but any comment is welcome!
i specially liked bbc's the hour recently

oh, and about zombies, a lot much better dead set than that stupid thing called the walking dead.
imo, british > american, the stupid american morality ruins most of the scripts. god heroes leadership mariage family community faith and the same irrational arguments over and over

Millenium by Chris Carter.
You've probably seen a couple of eps and have a vague memory of the series, but really, you should give it a go. :)

The Wire. It's bleak and depressing though.

The themes, the humor, the groove chill musics. Oh, man- this show was/is so good.

"H" and "Platane" (watch them in that order) Very funny french series, I guess they exist subtitled somewhere...

i recommend buffy anyway though (from season 4 on up (season 7 sucks kind of though))

all tv series are inferior to spaced.
also, true blood sucks. it's stupid whiny vampire soap shit, my roommates watch it all the time. it's way more anyone's time to watch buffy if you're feeling bitey.
the walking dead season 1 is fucking amazing, but it started getting a little slow into season 2 and i haven't gotten back to it yet.
you can avoid terra nova, it's a snoozefest. as a matter of fact, it may have been a great year for existing series, but not a single new show came on the air that in the least bit got me interested.
i've heard good things about misfits - anyone got any opinions on that?

doc martin :P cheesy but light and funny
oh, and the x-files, but avoid any episodes starring Annabeth Gish, she's unbearable

i fucking loved first spaced episodes, for what i remember, but then i lost interest on it because my housemate not liking it and humour being a bit rude, but i dont remember exactly... i should definetly retake it!
i also saw misfits first chapters and i liked the characters and style, but i think i thought it was too childish (or teenegerish), but some of my friends love it.
i agree with you with the lack of new good shows last year, i would recommend you the already said 'the hour', fucking solid script and original characters. i would say it is a mix between mad men and sherlock holmes (havent seen that serie or film, sherlock as big investigation thing)

spaced is wholly worth re-watching! i cry at the last episode. every time. also the whole series is one hulu for free! altho i dunno if that's us-only.
the hours sounds neat, but i wasn't able to get over the hump with mad men, so we'll see how we do with this one.
also, this gag alone has almost convinced me to give community a solid try.

well, by the moment, the hour is just 6 autoconclusive episodes (i think therell be a 2nd season), so its worth and easy check it!
i will definetly give spaced a second chance no doubt, now that i have no critizing viewer on my side...
wilfred is pretty great too indeed, mr. troll, similar stupid surrealist ironic spaced style (they went too cacafuck style, tho, thru the chapters, for me, that ive seen until 7. it was great better when focused a lot more in human/dog behaviour)
