BBC offered some suggestions and their article is an answer what differentiates a trustworthy company from pay2advertise scammers:

Yes, they actually recommend many potentially interesting titles not planned to air on BBC nor BBC didn't filmed any of it! Thumb up!
As it's me, I'll just skip over "usual suspects" we'll all watch anyway (Luther, Game of Thrones, etc) and concentrate on some exotics.
A zombie horror set in medieval South Korea, Kingdom (Netflix) tells the story of a crown prince (Ju Ji-hoon) who has fallen victim to a conspiracy, and has to set out on a mission to unveil the evil scheme and save his people from a strange plague that renders the infected immune to death and hungry for flesh.
This could be very good as it comes from the very same writer who did the
Signal show I've mentioned before, but can't find time to put a few words about it. Yet. And @Couchpotato; is hooked with korean romance soaps so no luck there too. Yet.
Although koreans love to make 1season shows and that's it, Signal was planned to continue but Netflix hired the writer for that upcoming horror/fantasy… Which is already renewed. Yes, while Fox is cancelling shows in the middle, Netflix renews them before they air. 21st century
Fox Netflix.
Kingdom will have a second season in 2020:

Swedish-Danish thriller Greyzone (Channel 4/Walter Presents) follows the events leading up to a terror attack in Scandinavia. During a business trip abroad, drone software engineer Victoria (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen) meets a reporter – but the interview turns into a dangerous situation where Victoria and her son Oskar are taken hostage. When anti-terror police discover her desperate situation, they force her to become a double agent and gain insight into her captor’s terror network.
Terrorists, antiterrorists, who cares, right? Yea, if Bron/Broen colaboration between Sweden and Denmark could have shaken the TV, maybe this another one can too.
Moody Icelandic detective series Trapped (RÚV) returns with more grisly crimes, but is to touch more on contemporary issues that are important to Icelanders. In season two, we are back in the company of police officer Andri Ólafsfson (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) and his colleagues, as they examine an even more complex and challenging murder case. The crime drama, became the sleeper hit of 2016 and will need to have something special up its sleeve if it’s to keep fans happy.
I'm pretty sure this one was mentioned before in this thread. If someone still didn't watch
Trapped, I have no idea what are you waiting for. Stop playing nonsensical mmos and phonegames, find and binge this gem already. Me? Can't wait for the next season.
A New Zealand horror mockumentary that followed three vampire roommates is being remade for TV, as What We Do in the Shadows (FX) relocates from Wellington to New York. Created by Flight of the Conchords’ Jermaine Clement, the US version stars Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak and Natasia Demetriou.
No. I won't be watching this hollywoodized silly retelling, but for all those who "neverheard" about it, grab
the original almost masterpiece movie as it's one of those mustwatch before you die.
Based on the 1990 fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (Amazon Prime Video) takes place in modern times when the end is nigh and final judgment is set to descend upon humanity. Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley (David Tennant), a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the apocalypse and join forces to try to prevent it happening.
Neil Gaiman? Terry Pratchett? Michael Sheen? David Tennant? I don't care what's it about, this just cannot fail. Gimme!
