9. Ragnarok - IMDb: 7.5
Ragnarok is a Norwegian production that can be called fantastic. The reason we included this series on our list is that it is one of the few mythology series of Netflix. Ragnarok, which touches on Scandinavian mythology and shocks the audience, seems to have paved the way for mythology-themed productions.
8. Bonus Family - IMDb: 7.6
Bonus Family is one of Sweden's most solid productions. As you get into Bonus Family, which looks like a family comedy, you realize that things are actually much more complicated than that. The series, which came to the screen in 2017, was followed so much that the US adaptation began in 2018. We are sure that you will watch this series, whose name was changed to Steps in the US adaptation, even if it makes you a little sad.

5. Lilyhammer - IMDb: 8.0
Lilyhammer is one of the most solid works on our list. After Lilyhammer, a co-production of America and Norway, came to the screen, we could not see anything other than mafia and gangster serials for a while, maybe you remember! Lilyhammer, one of Netflix's most-watched Norwegian series, is about the American government's placement of one of the country's most 'strange' gangsters in Norway through its witness protection program. While watching the series, you watch the leading role of Steven Van Zandt with laughter. 'Let it not be boring and at the same time give tension!' If so, this series is for you.
4. Forbrydelsen (The Killing) - IMDb: 8.4
The Killing is one of Denmark's most popular productions. The Killing, which does not have an extraordinary subject, achieved this success with the way it handles the subject rather than the subject it deals with. The events unfold when a female detective, who wants to put her life in order, tries to solve a murder that confronts her just as she says, 'Everything's all right!' Although our character amazes him with his intelligence, when you see the obstacles in front of him, you say 'No more!' The Killing, which does not neglect to criticize the system slightly, made such a sound in those years that the Turkish adaptation of the series was also shot in 2014. In fact, our detective was played by the famous actress Nurgül Yeşilçay.
3. Borgen - IMDb: 8.5
Borgen is a Danish TV series. Even if you're not into politics, you'll start to be after watching Borgen. A female politician, one of the most important names in Danish politics, unexpectedly becomes the country's first female prime minister. The series presents the events that developed within the framework of this situation by making a perfect system critique. Realizing the interest in the production, industry wolves bought the rights of the series and announced that the US version would also be shot. Although there is no movement for the US version yet, we do not think that they will delay the adaptation of such a solid production.
2. Bron - IMDb: 8.6
A Swedish and Danish co-production, Bron is one of the most shocking series on our list. Having a great production behind him, Bron proves to us how much he loves his subject, with its publication in 174 countries. A body is found on the border of Sweden and Denmark. But a bigger problem looms almost than the corpse: Since the body was found right at the border, will the Swedish police take care of it, or will it be the Danish police? Since they do not know the answer to this question, they decide to work together. Considering the immersiveness of the series, you can guess that it didn't take long for it to be adapted by different countries! The same plot was soon adapted to take place at the US-Mexico border.
1. Skam - IMDb: 8.6
And we came to number 1 on our list. Think of a group of friends or high school students who are distantly connected to each other. Each season, we enter the life of a different person from this group and watch events from his perspective. You can admire someone you hated in the first season, in the next season. We see their pain, their happiness, their disappointment, and much more. Skam is a very good production that cannot be said: 'What about the youth TV series!' The series has been so popular since the year it was broadcast that it was adapted for television in countries such as France and Italy. We strongly recommend you to watch this Norwegian series. You won't regret it!
