There is a Spain series called Isabella on its second season
I confess that I haven’t watched it, but some people like this one:

Tin Man
I don’t know if they have justified, but I’m a big fan. Some people like arrested development
Are you looking for heist and other odd job films or investigator (conspiracy/murder/suspense) films?
Does the perspective matter?
Have you seen the Sherlock Holmes reboot with “Khan” Cumberbatch?
Very cool.
I’m currently watching Scandal, and have watched Damages.
If you have some basic cable channels like fx or AMC, or premiums like stars, hbo, showtime, you can stream their series for no charge. Go to their web sites. This means you can watch shows not currently running or series which are discontinued.
Sounds like you’d like ‘Lilyhammer’.
“A New York mobster goes into hiding in rural Lillehammer in Norway after testifying against his former associates. “
A ‘fish out of water’ comedy crime series. Or something like that.
There’s The Sound of Noise
