Carrot in a box 1 and 2, classic!
It’s…… Little Alex Horne!!!
but in high pitch ^little Alex Horne!!^
Taskmaster drew me in and I binged it all. Now that I’ve watched the other shows and know the contestants a bit more, it’s even more fun to rewatch! Taskmaster is a gem of a show, an absolute casserole!

The IT Crowd is still my favorite comfort watch
I’ve always heard good things about Dark, the German show
Ya it’s good
Very enjoyable.
Note that in order to enjoy Dark effectively you will need to dedicate a part of your home to a “crazy wall” to keep track of who is who.
I enjoyed it but I did have to stop mid way through season 3 because it just got too damn, well… dark.
Deadloch is a great Australian show about a murder in a rural town that was recently taken over by lesbian entrepreneurs and turned into an LGBT-friendly tourist destination. Bit of Mare of Eastown vibes, but more humor.

That Mitchell & Webb Look and really anything by David Mitchell and Robert Webb
-
Toast of London
-
Rake, but the Australian version
I’m sure I’ll think of some others to add, I know I’m forgetting a lot right now…
Toast of London is one of my favorite shows ever. Toast of Tinseltown is good too.
Toast of London is soooo good. Matt Berry is just next level
David Mitchell was good in Ludwig this year as well if anyone wants a crime procedural.

Slow horses is too good
La Chica de Nieve (The Snow Girl)
My Brilliant Friend
The Fall

I would also recommend Say Nothing though I don’t know if that counts as “non-US” because while the series is set in Northern Ireland and stars an Irish and British cast it is still US produced.
Inside No. 9 is a “British black comedy anthology television programme” per Wikipedia.
Basically if you like Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, with a bit of British comedy, this show is for you.
Every episode has something worth watching, a handful are absolutely fantastic.
Luther. Peaky Blinders. The night manager. This is going to hurt. I may destroy you. This is England. Boiling point
Humans Black Mirror Utopia The aliens His dark material
Brassic Fleabag Catastrophe Derry Girls The outlaws Letterkenny

Class of '07 - the best ‘women trapped together and trying to survive’ show, it’s an Australian comedy
Troppo - Australian crime drama with Thomas Jane playing the grumpy dad figure
The Devil’s Hour - go into this show without knowing what it’s about, it’s absolutely fantastic
Sin Huellas (No Traces) - Spanish crime comedy
Speaking of Aussie comedies, Colin From Accounts is funny as hell too.
It’s the name of the main character’s dog, to set the tone.
The Girl From Nowhere
Dark Flight of the Concords
