United States have produced many of my favorite TV series and I find them extremely funny and light headed along with romance, thrill and drama.
Few of my favorites are The Vampire Diaries, friends, how I met your mother, Big Bang theory, suits, 2 Broke Girls, new girl, Modern Family, originals, legacies, Sherlock Holmes, etc etc.. And the list goes on.

USA is a leading country in many fields. but that doesn't mean that Japan isn't the GOD of anime, Mexico having the best goofy comedies in Latin America in my opinion, and the UK having produced great dramas and british bake off.

Simply the best. Hollywood can be termed as the mother of movies.

Simpsons and Regular Show.

The only two shows I care about.

2 Pakistan Pakistan was established in 1947 and is located in South Asia. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar are other major cities of Pakistan. Urdu and English are official languages of Pakistan. World's second highest peak (K-2) and ninth highest peak (Nanga Parbat) are located in Pakistan.

Pakistani dramas are very well scripted and always show the real side of the society. There is nothing like fantasy in them, which is sometimes little boring if you are only watching Pakistani dramas, but they are so much better than many other countries. And the most important thing is that you can enjoy them with all of your family members because they all are family friendly series. And also they have a small number of episodes so it won't bore you.

The dramas in Pakistan is very family-friendly and lots of fun and exciting story. It doesn't have so long episodes. You can see islamic phrases everywhere in urdu. It's fun to watch but reduce islamic phrases so we non-muslims can watch it freely.

Pakistani dramas are not too long, they show reality, show family problems, Learn worldliness. Pakistani girls are very beautiful

Pakistani dramas interest the whole family. It's something fun to bond over and comment on and it's a chance to get to know each other better. Maybe you see some familiar actors and discuss the wardrobe they chose for the drama. The dialogue for the dramas is always so fluent and solid. The culture is beautiful and it's something cool to learn about in general. The script is always so well-written and the dramas themselves are always so interesting.

3 United Kingdom The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly shortened to United Kingdom, UK or Britain is a Sovereign State located of the Northwestern coast of Europe.

Well, naturally *smug grin* There are a lot of American shows here but I don't watch a single one of them (although I used to be a huge fan of Saved By The Bell as a child) Nothing against the USA, but their shows just don't appeal to me; as I suspect many British shows aren't that popular in the U.S.

Britain has the best telly. They make the best shows and bring in the top shows from around the world.

I can only watch British or Irish shows! Maybe the odd one from the Aussies or our NZ friends, and only Simpson's from US, but the top two are my favorites!

I only watched three British TV series but I liked them and I was obsessed with them.

4 Japan Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. It lies off the eastern coast of the Asia Mainland (east of China, Korea, Russia) and stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest.

It has a large population of 126.86 million people (Statistics Bureau of Japan. Retrieved April 27, 2016). ...read more.

All my childhood shows were dubbed Japanese animes. They are cartoons that really have stories unlike the new ones that involve a bunch of animals that talk to each other and they have literally no consistent story. I still rewatch dubbed Japanese amines until today they are as cool as movies

How the hell is this not N.1? Anime is watched around the world! There are so many good ones, for example: Fire force, Dragon ball series, JoJo Series, One Piece, Attack on Titan and more!

Lucky star is awesome! And mirai nikki

There anime are very awesome.

6 India India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi. Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages.

They produce my second favourite dubbed Dramas. They can sometimes be annoying because they slow down the scenes and make them very tense. A one-second scene might become 10 minutes. They are very depressing and tense. You start worrying about what will happen as if you are in the movie. Some series won't finish because their length is more than the lenght of your lifetime, therefore the most I watched was 200 episodes. Zoya was the main character I forgot the name of the movie but as soon as she dies her daughter continues the story and when that happened I just stopped watching.

This is my own country and of course I love the dramas here. The dramas here are for families to sit together and watch. It has all the elements from Romance, Comedy to Suspense, Supernatural, melodrama, etc. The shows goes on for years and you can pick them up any time from middle. Apart from that there are so many amazing web series nowadays like Sacred Games, Little Things, etc. Many shows here bring back the Rich History of indian culture to life. I think it's the best.

I agree that there were times when Indian T.V. serials were revolving around the old overreacting sop but after the coming of the web series trend in India, things have been changed a a lot. People won't able to believe their eyes that to name a few, Sacred games, Mirzapur, like web series are been rated among the highest ratings by the IMDB. Times have changed and now people must change their mindset towards the country too.

India has the best drama in the world. It has ramance, motivation, action (short), worship, love with others, beauty and the main thing comedy. I really love Indian drama. India has many comedy shows. One popular show is TMKOC. India has many acters and actresses, they all have many talents.

7 South Korea South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a country in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and sharing a land border with North Korea. Its western border is formed by the Yellow Sea, while its eastern border is defined by the Sea of Japan. South Korea claims to be the sole legitimate government of the entire peninsula and adjacent islands. It has a population of 51.75 million, of which roughly half live in the Seoul Capital Area, the fifth largest metropolis in the world. Other major cities include Incheon, Busan, and Daegu. ...read more.

I just love the acting skills of the Korean actors. And of course can't forget to appreciate their looks. I don't know, but K-dramas really have something that attracts the viewers. I watched a K-drama because I was bored at that time and have nothing to watch but now I am just obsessed with them. The really good thing about them is that they have a very small number of episodes so you can watch more and more.

I just love how they make it easy for someone who is learning Korean for the first time because the subtitles are easy to read and to understand even for someone who has hard time to learn intermediate English. Also I like how they have variety shows, music shows, and reality shows. And most importantly they don't show explicit things which is great even for teenagers. Lastly, they separate which shows are appropriate for kids. Thank you KBS WORLD will always be your number one fun.

I started watching Kdramas only few months back but I have fallen in love with them like crazy. The fact that they produce short TV series with 16- 20 episodes max is amazing. We don't have to wait a year for next season. I love that. Apart from that, the stories are unbelievably full of all the aspects like romance (which is must here), Back story, amazing Second leads, daily life struggles, excessively obsessed villain who dies or get jailed or turn into a good person😅. The boys are cute here and are different from US and Indian boys. I saw a new culture which I absolutely loved and, in their language, made my heart flutter!

Korean dramas are best, short episodes, amazing cast, good stories. They have variety in dramas, if you only go for rom-coms there are lot of cliche scenes, however, there are many sci-fi, fantasy, thriller dramas. Apart from there dramas like Pinocchio, Sky Castle actually depict the current situation in society. They are addictive and everyone can find their own type of dramas which they love.

8 Turkey Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey, is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. ...read more.

Turkish series based on cross cultural both modern and conservative watchers who used to follow different tastes. Widely vibrant unlike India who deep into unicolor cultural, mystic way. Same time Turkish series will give meaning, it shows all actors well learned all wise aspects of meaning of life, which never see other countries series.

I have always watched dubbed Turkish romance and drama series on MBC. I am obsessed with them. Turkish and sometimes Indian dramas were always the talk of the day in middle school. We used to memorize the songs even though we never understand them. They remind me of Libya.

Turkey's mix of Mediterranean and European culture in their dramas makes it exhilarating. There isn't a single character in the show that doesn't have their own unique and complicated storyline. Turkish dramas get you hooked.

Since Turkish drama shows became the new addiction in Latin America, I have not stopped watching them. They filled the hole with everything Latin American telenovelas we're missing. Plus, the ancient era scenery from Istanbul is just gorgeous.

9 Spain Spain, or the Kingdom of Spain, is a country in southwestern Europe with parts of territory in the Atlantic Ocean and across the Mediterranean Sea. The largest part of Spain is situated on the Iberian Peninsula; its territory also includes the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the Balearic Islands ...read more.

Before their "explosion" with the likes of "Money Heist", "Cable Girls", and "Elite", I'd watch random Spanish shows on cable on Antena 3 when I was young. Favorite show? Their version of "Wheel of Fortune". It is kinda comical seeing the participants competing for prices that are way smaller than the American prices (even adjusting for the currency exchange).

In the past years they've come up with good drama shows. While I haven't been able to see many of them, the few I had been able to see are good.
I had also been able to watch plenty of CCTV. The main issue with CCTV is just that CCTV seems to be way too simplistic in terms of news, but at least they go straight to the point, which is good at times.

Chinese dramas are the best of them all. especially ancient ones they all have different contents. In my opinion china should be on the top of the list

14 Bangladesh Bangladesh, officially the People's Republic of Bangladesh, is a country in South Asia.

Bangladeshi Drama is the most realistic one. All artists play the role with real and natural behaviour, It's hard to find overacting or unreal role there.
Most of the time they makes script with true story of the society.
Bangladesh is the most realistic short film producer in the world.

Bangladeshi Dramas have travelled a long way and their telefilms are one of the best. The acting is also pretty good.

Bangladeshi dramas are just awesome, it's not that popular because of no subtitles issue.

I love Mexican series

Brazilian telenovelas have been the queens of TV since I have use of memory. In fact, they perfected the "sci-fi/rom-com" genre with 2018 "Crashing Into The Future", since it has been the best show I've ever seen in recent time.
Second, Brazilian telenovelas had never been shy about touching controversial subjects: they don't shy away from displaying interracial/interfaith unions, political corruption, immigration struggles and assimilation, the horrors of slavery, environmental issues and deforestation, and the like…along the usual melodrama, AND lots of comedy on top of all.

Brazil makes novellas that are loved by people from all over the world!

Brazilian novels are the best.
