Finnish tv shows are probably not widely available, but I'll list some nonetheless. Most what I'm going to recommend are comedies and Finnish humour might be weird for someone who has not grown in Finland (even dark and absurd at times, second-hand embarrassment is also very common) but I feel like comedy series are the most authenic we have, dramas often try to imitate international series and by doing that they don't feel as authentic. I've also only chosen to list shows that I feel like would have some appeal even for a non-Finn and shows that are unique, not everyday shows that have a very basic premise.
Queen of Fucking Everything (2024) Real estate agent's husband disappears with all their money and leaves her with a 3 million euro worth of debt. She gets mixed into illegal drug business and shady renovating practices to get the money to pay her debt. Absurd characters and twists and turns.
Toinen tuleminen / Money Shot (2024) Sari is a 40-year old porn star that gets fired because she's too old. She starts her own porn film company, hires a film school reject Linnea as writer and together they start to make feminist porn. Absurd characters, twists and turns.
Poromafia / Reindeer Mafia (2023) One family has ruled a little town in Lappland. The matriarch of the family dies and her testament causes the remaining family to start fighting. There's a snowmobile gang, a Norwegian druglord, paid off authorities etc. Mostly drama but at times dark or absurd humour sprinkled in.
M/S Romantic (2019) Miniseries about a cruise ship journey and what happens during that. Characters include both tourists and staff, there are a lot of hilarious situations. This is what White Lotus would be like if it was written about Finnish people who are not rich by any means.
i've not seen much finnish comedy but i did almost die laughing at napapiirin sankarit (second one was also good) so i will keep these recommendations. it probably helps that rural finland and rural sweden are pretty similar, all the types of guy are accounted for.
I've wanted to watch Mushroom Trip for years now and obtaining it with subtitles in a language I know has been impossible. Somehow, there are lots of Russian translations of Finnish movies.
