Streaming video is really a door opener for those who are ventursome or curious. Streaming is making "foreign" videos more accessible & variations of mystery plots. An 1850's Korean CSI series does make one wonder how it is/can be done. Vampire detective? Chinese & Japanese mysteries, yes, I do like costume mysteries/stories. Of course there are also the British type which tickles my mind regarding locations at either Oxford or Cambridge campus.
Then there is the Russian mystery series where an official got the OK to enlist or draft various academics to help solve things using each person's specialties.
I do watch TV for the local news, weather & traffic conditions. There is also Bloomberg which has a nice side panel that give me better news than what the local TV stations do.

Netflix in particular is bringing in both originals and licensed content from all over: Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Turkey among others.
(Both versions of THE BRIDGE are engrossing.)
On my "someday" list is a Spain time travel show (MINISTRY OF TIME) and a weird (reincarnation?) show from Norway titled RAGNAROK, which seems to be about Thor and Loki as teenagers in a rural Norway town.
From the trailer, Mjolnir is a claw hammer. I'm afraid, very afraid.
