The Killing (Danish original version) is very good, if you can find it, and don't mind subtitles. There's a US remake, but I don't know what it's like.
The Borgias is pretty pretty pretty! And has Jeremy Irons munching on the scenery as Rodrigo Borgia/Pope Alexander VI. It does have scenes of marital rape with the teenage Lucrezia, though, and more murder than you can shake a stick at (more even than detective series set in cosy English villages!)
In animation, I've seen people raving about the greatness of Tiger and Bunny (superheroes with reality TV programmes, AFAIK) but I haven't seen it, so don't know much more.
Oh, and if vampires trying to be decent people who fight crime appeals, then RH Plus, which is funny and rarely takes itself too seriously.
