    I got the following covered:

    USA, France, South Korea, Japan(in the middle of a series), Russia, China and the UK.

    Any other suggestions?

    Can I ask what series you have from those nations? Just curious, although it may lead to a debate whether the ones you picked really represent those countries.

    Romanzo Criminale is pretty immense. It's only two seasons and would cross Italy off the list.

    "Set in the 1970s, it's the story of three lifelong friends who take control of organized crime in Rome."

    Australia had some nice shows during the 90s, sadly can't recall any at the moment.

    I used to watch quite a few fairly obscure japanese drama years ago but unfortunately now , i do not watch any drama at all.

    A few more i can remember that i liked ..

    Sci-fi
    Time-keepers - a pretty obscure japanese sci-fi drama , the show "continuum" sort of reminded me a little bit of it.

    Mystery
    Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo aka the files of young kindaichi

    Drama
    Kimi to Ita Mirai no Tame ni aka I'll be back - sort of like a groundhog day drama where one guy kept repeating his last 4 years till the millenium strikes and then he goes back to 4 years ago and repeat all over again.

    Satomi Hakkenden (mini series based on the famous japanese novel) aka legend of the 8 samurai

    Hotaru no haka aka Grave of the fireflies (this was a 2005 tv movie based on the animated movie , there was a 2008 movie based on that as well). The over 2 hours long tv movie expanded the role of the aunt a bit more.
