Kahina Zadi, 32, a French police officer travels to Kiruna in Sweden to investigate the bestial murder of a French citizen. Together with Anders, a Swedish prosecutor of Sami origin, she begins an investigation. Soon new killings start to happen and the first victim turns out to be the tip of a very dark iceberg. The victims seemingly have nothing in common more than that they are all being killed in a well-planned and vicious manner. In their hunt for the truth, both Kahina and Anders are forced to deal with their own past that they have repressed. A personal journey through a painful past becomes the key to succeed in preventing the violent killings that affects the small mining community of Kiruna.

I enjoyed a TV show set in Kiruna with many scenes inside the mines. I like Nordic Noir type shows for the entertainment but I also enjoy the geography of my ancestors. It's really pretty country.

Frankly, I don't know which ones produce the best movies in general as this is somewhat subjective. There are gems from all countries and often there is a co-operation between countries.
However, since I especially like Swedish crime drama, I can give you specific recommendations of crime drama movies and TV-series from Sweden and other countries.
* Snabba Cash I, II, III ("Easy Money" I, II, III) * Wallander (yeah, the original Swedish one - there are many) * Beck (there are many) * Jägarna ("The Hunters", there's two) * Midnight Sun ("Midnattssol"; TV series taking place in Lappland)
The latter is a French-Swedish production which is, I think, a good example of what the directive of the article intends to create more.
In addition to watching a crime drama of the kind which you might not have not seen, you get to sight-see places as they are. I especially liked the visual appearance of The Midnattssol since it takes place in Lappland, which I think is beautiful in a rugged way.
Also, you may have seen Hollywood remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There's a Swedish original which can be interesting to watch.
A Swedish-Danish series called "The Bridge" (Bro) is very good, but I have not seen it.
An Italian (actually Italian-German) series called "Gomorrah" is very good too, I heard. I have not seen that either, though.
I have yet to fully explore all the crime drama from other European countries; I've seen some Finnish ones (like "Vares") and they were OK too.
Hope this helps.
Edit: forgot Snabba Cash III!
