Daytona State College TV channel airs programs from MHz Networks. That's where I saw Montalbano. However, I got hooked on European crime series when a Turkish Cable Station broadcasting from New Jersey aired two seasons of "Kommissar Rex" (Inspector Rex). Have you heard of it?

With two votes for The Killing, Borgen and Spiral, I think the handwriting is pretty much on the wall.NancyOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027036137062767840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-506358489015565993.post-40881554578174660422012-02-17T16:10:04.932-05:002012-02-17T16:10:04.932-05:00Henning Mankell's Wallander has been made into...Henning Mankell's Wallander has been made into two different TV series by Swedish TV. Both versions are very good. The Sicily based Montalbano series from Andrea Camilleri's books are also very good and very different in style and atmosphere from dark Scandinavia.

I can only imagine the original has to be phenomenal. <br /><br />Thanks!NancyOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027036137062767840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-506358489015565993.post-33384551156265493692012-02-16T08:35:42.799-05:002012-02-16T08:35:42.799-05:00Obviously "The Killing"(1 & 2).

Another Danish one that is not crime fic but vg politics/journalism/one up for women is "Borgen".<br />French- "Spiral" series 1 and 2 (it goes off after that).<br />I watched a vg Irish series recently called "Single Handed" (reviewed at my blog). <br />I tend not to watch UK tv crime series as I think they are all Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.com
