I'm German and I couldn't recommand any show from my country in good conscience.
There's "dark", but that's a pretty well known netflix series.
I tried that one but found it utterly boring.
Same :)
Crime Scene Cleaner (Der Tatortreiniger) is pretty great.
Sounds interesting. Thanks!
There is also a British version created by Greg Davies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cleaner_(British_TV_series)
The overnight Bernt das Brot broadcasts on Kika. You're welcome.

Not a TV show but a TV movie, "Die Welle" was fantastic.
Im original, bitte.
They made that into a movie? We had to read that at school.
If you are in the USA you can watch it in tv every day.
Not even "Alarm für Cobra 11"? 😁

There is a lot of trash being produced, but I think Der Tatortreiniger and Stromberg are German shows which can definitely be recommended.
Yeah, those two might be the only silver lining. Maybe "Die Anstalt" as well, though that's a very specific kind of show.
"Die Anstalt" is goated, yes. On the more lighter side I like Pastewka, Sketch History (basically Germany's Monty Python), Die Familie Heinz Becker, Mitternachtsspitzen, Kalkofes Mattscheibe and Loriots as well as Gerhard Polts movies and series (very dated though sometimes timeless).
Stromberg is Germany's "The Office", btw.
As someone not from Germany but living there, I would recommend Tatort (Münster) and Traum Schiff.
I love it, but even if it's not for everyone I feel like every country has cheesy shows like these and its interesting to see the German version.
Tatort Münster is definitely the best one.
Tatort is OK when you happen to stumble on a good one. Avoiding the Schwarzwald version is a must. It's so, so bad.
I remember enjoying Deutschland 83 and the subsequent series. Even just from a set design and historical perspective.
I'm not German but would absolutely recommend Babylon Berlin!
Ijon Tichy!!
I want to second this! trailer
Also, if you want something more classic, we also have Raumpatrouille Orion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftDXbIDfce8
That's very cool. I didn't understand more than a word here or there, but it's really neat.
"Nicht nachmachen" is strongly recommended
No! That's actually a prime example for everything that is wrong with German TV. An interesting concept for a show ruined a by cringey dialog and performances. I'd totally watch a US or British remake of it ... but in German? No thanks.
I had the exact same thought
