Nice list! I started watching Broen a couple weeks back, just have been too busy and so I've only watched 1 ep.

You should add Prisoners Of War ( Israel). It's the basis for Homeland and i would argue that it is better than Homeland.
The first season is on Hulu and the second season will be coming to Hulu this spring.

Some hilarious shows have come out of Australia in recent years, though I'm not sure if their humour always translates for US audiences (I know the USA butchered UK show The Inbetweeners horrible, for example).

Try if you like:

Summer Heights High
Chandon Pictures
A Moody Christmas

Oh of course some US station is, not surprised after The Killing was adapted.

Summer Heights High was amusing enough, will have to check the others out.

I really enjoy the UK version, but it's the only one ive seen. I've heard the original version is much better.

The original was broadcast on BBC Four. The British remake aired on BBC One.
