In long-form television (or, some of these may have been created as films, a distinction in some European media that seems to depend in part on schedule and budget), I've been quite enjoying Il commissario Montalbano:

You will like these if you enjoy quieter productions that depend on subtleties. And if you enjoy works that are both artistic (think about the state of the filmed street-scapes) and that seek to imbue local flavor.
Also, depending on where you get them from, the subtitles may not accurately convey some of the language and subtleties.
P.S. RAI subsequently launched a "prequel" series, The Young Montalbano. I haven't seen it in a while. It's ok, I guess, but I prefer the original.
